ethics

I like my job. Although it's not the kind of photography that makes my heart beat fast (like Siskind and Giacomelli) I like that I'm not sitting a desk collecting blood clots in my legs for the full 40 hours of my shift.

But I still work in a conservative office environment. This week's controversy:
Does a photo of a transexual in a low cut shirt, huge breasts and a man's face offend you? Does it violate the standard ethics of journalism to publish such a photo? If a volunteer photographer on your staff posted such a photo - would it be your job to delete it?
