I've worked on a few. =  Nothing unethical or integrity-challenging.  I don't think. =  The ones I've done have been sponsored by some company or = organization, and we provided unedited a and b-roll from their own = projects to be used in news stories by stations that are either too = cheap or resource-deprived to cover it themselves.  The content may = be a convention, store opening, commercial event, performance, gala, = etc.  

The idea is to give them enough info to = produce a story, and put their branding on it, as if they got the story = themselves.  Maybe that's what you're talking about, as far as = ethics.  But, the concept isn't unique to broadcast = journalism.

Many print and web articles are = also nothing more than rebranded PR.  Do you think all product = reviews are free from advertiser influence?  Show me a single = industry that people on this list are a part of that is 100% free of = child labor, tax avoidance, negative influence, carbon-free, doesn't use = energy provided by dictatorial regimes, land-raping, and so on. =  But, I digress.

The way I've done VNRs is to = provide what they call "slates," or a full screen graphic for one second = preceding any footage.  This provides the information the stations = need to get the facts right, and provide their own supers.  The = slates can be short because satellite time is precious, and no need to = devote time enough to read them.  They have = freeze-frame.

Check with your client if they plan = to uplink it, as there may be a maximum length in accord with their = reserved satellite = time.
