14. I would say this little ditty is the "press release" for the book. Journalism 101

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER make yourself the story.

It is completely acceptable and ethical to write up/tape a first person account FOR YOUR OWN PUBLICATION/NETWORK.....but in the journalistic world, as soon as other publications start vaunting you as some kind of "hero" you are considered an asshole.

Exhibit A: Anderson Cooper.
