Ethical or Unethical - Indirect Strategy


http://image.slidesharecdn.com/negativemessages-141017064727-conversion-gate02/95/negative-messages-presentation-2-638.jpg?cb=1413528503


Using the indirect strategy when delivering bad news is only unethical if the writer makes a conscious decision to be unethical. The indirect strategy is used with the reader’s well-being in mind.  Depending on the message there are guidelines on when to use the indirect organization as oppose to the direct organization of bad news messaging.

Using the indirect approach when delivering bad news eases your reader into the news by explaining the reasons before giving the bad news. Using the direct approach of delivering bad news is best when the news will not be upsetting or if someone is expecting the news.

When we receive bad news our brain immediately will try to reason within ourselves the why, what, or how.  However if the brain receives the why, what, or how before the bad news is delivered, the reasoning can help us to process the negative message with more clarity.

The indirect approach in bad news messaging for the most part is not unethical. But more of a method to deliver unpleasant news with hopes of not provoking annoyance from your reader.
Which approach do you think was used in this letter?
Direct or Indirect
