Answer:

A reporter writes a story about his wife's company without revealing their relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

The Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics says that journalists HAVE to avoid conflicts of interest or have to show the inevitable ones. In this case, the journalist writes a story about his wife’s company and simply ignores their relationship. According to the Code of Ethics, the journalist should at least say on his story that his wife works there.
