Research what are the laws that journalists have to abide by when telling a story, and what laws protect civilians from printing false information about them? These laws are to try and ensure that the press is not printing things just to sell stories. How well does all this work? Do famous people get rumors printed about them often? Do they have to take the company who printed the article to court to take back what they said? What happens to rectify mistakes that get printed about people? How responsible do news sources have to be? Is that changing? What about content online?

Google if medical conditions/disease/illnesses are on the rise due to the environmental conditions... are humans already paying the price of a compromised environment? Can you find a direct correlation and is it worse than 50 years ago- from what people can tell? data collection and technology has increased which may also affect the way this information is tracked and so we have a more accurate picture now vs. 50 years ago but from what you can find of then vs. now, are we any better or worse off as a planet health wise?
