It's about time someone puts down the "camera" and truly helps someone in need rather than filming/reporting it. Even if he's doing it for a publicity stunt, who cares? He's helping the injured! Shut up.

How can anyone critisize someone so qualified and compasionate as Dr.Gupta. When people need medical attention it is good to know that there is someone who puts others needs ahead of any journalistic job. It seems there are plenty of newspeople and not enough medical people there anyway!!!

1. There aren't more than a half-dozen "journalists" in the world who respect the line Mr. Steele refers to, with much more destructive results. I doubt Mr. Steele even knows what that line is, since he chooses Dr. Gupta as an example. Look around, sir. There are a lot better examples of the "ethics" problems you cite.
2. Dr. Gupta isn't a journalist. He's always served as a subject matter expert, and is doing exactly that in Haiti. The information he's bringing to us is not only making the disaster more real to people who can provide resources to help, but takes a lot more courage to deliver than sitting on the sidelines passing judgment. How about doing something to help instead?

He needs to have a talk with his parents so they can give him a good kick in his hindquarters thereby giving him a much neede attitude correction

It is unfortunate that critics of Dr. Gupta do not spend more time critizing Fox news about their constant misstatement of the facts. It is a daily occurance at Fox news.

While I don't have experience as a journalist, I am a medical professional. All medical professionals are bound by the idea of "this above all else, do no harm." Harm can be done by not doing anything but look through the "lens" of the camera. Regardless of your background or profession, the mere idea of judging a person who is on the front lines of a disaster situation is dispicable. By saying that a person who is a journalist can't help because it would take away from their objectivity is placing the job of journalism not in a position of status, but that of bottom feeder.

Concerning the quote below by Bob Steele, the Poynter Institute's journalism values 'scholar' who complained that Gupta crosses the line between covering the story and participating in the story too often: "It clouds the lens in terms of the independent observation and reporting," the DePauw University journalism professor told the blog DimeWars... You've got to be kidding! Should a quailfied surgen/doctor NOT help in an emergency, no matter what other role or duties they might have? She he simply 'report' on the dying person, rather than save their life?!?

Same with Abby Hoffman & Jerry Rubin when they came to my college for a debate. The report was the college paper not evey a "REAL" paper so I take with a grain of salt EVERYTHING in the media of ANY form.

Of all the small, liberal, narcissitic, pulblish or perish idiots.............By the way where are you in all this?........Its easy to stand back and pick apart someone who is saving lives isn't it.
So tired of your type of person. Congress is full (for the moment ) of your type. Permissive, stupid, pathic and out of touch with the general population. I fault AOL for even giving your stupid article press.

It`s called the Hipocratic Oath. As a physician, he is morally bound to help those in need. While generally, I think Gupta is a douche, he is to be commended in this instance. What would you rather he do - stand over a dying child and talk about it, so as to maintain his "journalistic integrity" ? Mr. Steele better hope Gupta isn`t on duty one night when he has a car wreck. Gupta may just decide to report on his death rather than save his life. Karma`s a @#$%!, dude.

I am not a regular reader of Dimewars but this caught my attention. I bet Mr. Steele would not be worried about any cloudy lens if it were any of his family members that was being helped by Dr. Gupta. Dr. Gupta is a caregiver who happens to be a journalist and not a journalist who happens to be a caregiver. Sound to me like Mr. Steele is so caught up in his own hippocrasy(? spelling) that he forgets that we are all humans beings first. I would be curious about when Steele worked in the field reporting firsthand knowledge rather sitting in his mansion on the hill while others are doing the work.

I guess from the postings here we are all pretty much in agreement. Thank God for that! DR Sonjay Gupta should be nominated for a humanitarian award. I have been glued to the coverage by CNN and the reporting of Cooper Anderson and Dr. Gupta. Keep up the great work!

What crap! Since when has the press had a clear "lens in terms of the independent observation and reporting." Everybody knows that every reporter and every organ of the news media in this country and and the world have a bias. Never in the history of journalism in this country or the wolrd have journalists been unbiased. The all have their slant and it is invariably expressed in their reporting. Give us a break Bob Steele...!!!

What a jerk I think you are Bob Steele! At least the Dr's and media are providing better journalism, and humanitarianism!! I have to wonder if you'd feel the same way if that was you or your child in that rubble? I've always relied on Karma, and I see yours coming back around.
