Question

A reporter receives a gift card for $100 from an author whose book she reviewed
favorably. If she keeps the gift card, she will be committing which of the following
breaches?
h
conflict of interest
misrepresentation
payola
bias

Answer 1

Answer:

C: Payola

Explanation:

1. It wouldn't be a conflict of interest because it means having two sides competing against each other and that's not what happens.

2. It wouldn't be a misrepresentation because that's like selling something and knowing there's a problem with it and that's also not what's happening.

3. It wouldn't be biased because that's influencing them into doing something

So the only option left is payola and payola means undercover or indirect payment, which is happening in this question.
