- Phone apps get more and more advanced by the day and that makes them more costly. When developing an app such as uber, there are costs that need to be considered like the payment of the drivers and wether they pay for their petrol etc.. this can impact the amount of drivers Uber would be able to afford to have. Developing the app can also cost a fortune and may impact the quality of the app and how will it runs/loads and how quickly people are able to book an Uber.
- Data protection act 1998 - when reporting on stories, journalists must make sure that what they are releasing is in fact aloud to be released and if they do not know it is completely true they should use phrase such as ‘rumour has it’ to keep them out of future trouble.
- This is because Align Media is paying me for my work, they make me sign this incase i come up with something or produce something that can make me a lot of money and think of taking it for myself instead of sharing it with the company.

- Refugees is a very touchy subject that many countries around the world have had to deal with, refugees are certainly a very hard subject to document and the risk of being criticised is always there. With that being said, documenting refugees should always be done and portrayed as ethically as possible. One ethical issue that the producers may face would be the language barrier. Refugees are most likely to not speak english and therefore they need to be translated and there is always the risk that something may get translated incorrectly or is misunderstood and the effects from that can range all the way from nothing, to a huge misunderstanding. Another ethical issue they may face is the permission of filming children and under 18 year olds. Should they get permission from their parents? what if they are not with their parents? the children may not understand what the filming is for at the time, but some day they could come across it and state that they did not give consent to be on the documentary and that can cause trouble for the producers and the camera men.’
