  • A.Free sponsored trips
  • B.Fake news
  • C.Kill a story
  • D.Negative feedback

Answer: A

In journalism, junkets are free sponsored trips.

A junket is a trip for journalists paid for by a company, government, film studio or other organisation that wants coverage: travel, hotels and hospitality are provided free, often with a product launch or tour attached. Codes of journalistic ethics warn against accepting them because they create a sense of obligation and can compromise independence.

Fake news is deliberately false information, killing a story means dropping it before publication, and negative feedback is criticism from readers. None of these is a junket.
