Burdick said there was nothing illegal about Hagen taking personal property from a dumpster. However, a journalism professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia, raised questions about whether everything Hagen did was ethical.Lee Wilkins, a professor emeritus and co-author of a textbook on media ethics, said there was nothing wrong with Hagen looking for information in a dumpster or even publishing details from someone's journal. But she questioned Hagen's reporting of information about Crews' health history, which he based on hospital records.He doesn't say how he obtained those records, but hospitals are forbidden by law from releasing such information."Publishing her medical records is an invasion of privacy," she said.Wilkins paramount ethical concern, however, is whether Hagen can prove that all of the materials he found, such as the journals, actually belonged to Crews."How do they know that the diaries are genuine?"
