You are a journalist for the local newspaper and tasked with covering a charity softball game that includes appearances from owners of sports stadiums and teams in the area. You are greeted warmly by these folks, who all want positive press in your article. Which of the following would be an acceptable course of action when offered a gift in this situation?

Option A: One of the team owners offers to buy you dinner at a new restaurant the following week. You agree, thinking this is a harmless opportunity, but it may also be beneficial to build a good relationship with the team owner, who could help you with future stories.

Option B: One of the stadium owners offers you a new pair of sneakers at the fan shop as thanks for coming out and covering the story. Who doesn't want a new pair of sneakers? You accept them and mention the owner favorably in your article.

Option C: The stadium has sandwiches and water bottles laid out in the press room. You notice that other journalists are taking the refreshments, and you believe accepting a sandwich won't compromise the integrity of your story.

Option D: One of the players you are interviewing offers you two tickets to next week's game. After the interview, they ask you not to mention anything about their recent arrest following a bar fight last week.
