You're a journalist in Dakar. An influential minister embezzled funds for a maternal health programme in rural areas. You have the evidence — Accounting documents, testimonials, bank transfers. But an incendiary rumor is already circulating on social networks, wrongly accusing another responsible. The country is under stress. Crowds are organized, vindiction rumbles. If you publish now, your revelation may fuel an already uncontrollable chaos — looting, settling accounts.

A — You publish everything now, even if you burn a street already on fire.
