Invasion of privacy: Reporter's privacy checklist

  • Consent from the subject
  • Is the subject an adult?
    If not, do you have parental consent?
    Is the person mentally or emotionally disabled and unable to give consent? Have you obtained valid consent from a guardian or other responsible party?
    Has that consent been revoked?
    Is the subject currently a private or public figure? Has the person's status changed over time?
