I am totally against the concept of swapping wife.Personally, I would say this is no good in moral, ethical and social terms. But then that is their life and they have the freedom of living their life on their own. In the west, wife or girl friend swapping is not a big deal. There are reality television shows about wife swapping although the audience does not know if there had been sexual relations between the swapped couples. Regarding breaking the news, this is indeed a news and journalism does not disallow the reporting of this kind of happenings. Specially such practises that are not familiar with the society. However, while reporting on such issues, journalists are supposed to present them in a decent manner, without creating sensation and defaming the concerned people. In case of Salokya, if he had published the chat in his blog without taking the permission of the buddy(the wife swapper), that is a gross mistake and a serious violation of journalistic ethics. If he had done the same thing in US or Europe, the buddy could take Libel actions against him and Salokya would have ended up paying hundreds of thousands of compensation. For any private matters published without the permission of the concerned people, journalists and publishers are help responsible if the judge rule it as defamatory. And every year, media houses pay thousands(sometimes millions) of dollors of compensation on Libel lawsuits. Thankfully for Salokya and Nepali journalists, there are no such laws in Nepal.
