Any one who would use unethical methods does not deserve to be called a "journalist". Muckracker, maybe, but not a journalist. Since you specifically asked if they are "allowed" to, the answer is a flat "no", not if they're connected with any reputable news organization.

Is it against the law for journalists to use unethical methods?

While it may not be illegal for a journalist to use unethical methods per se, sometimes using unethical methods end up leading journalists to break the law without them knowing it sometimes but if and when they are investigated for using unethical methods it is found out that they broke the law in the process, they can be held liable for whatever happened for using the unethical methods. But, just because it is unethical sometimes, it is not necessarily illegal.


Why aren't journalists allowed to use unethical methods?

Because unethical methods, and bad or erroneous information, tend to go hand in hand very frequently. As one example: In the hours immediately following the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, one well-known news organization reported that she had been killed (she had not) and that her alleged assassin was an ex-Marine (her alleged assassin has never been in the military at all). They probably based those statements on sources they did not, or could not immediately verify, and that is unethical in journalism. The first rule of journalism - driven into every journalism student's head - is: "If your mother says she loves, you, check it out!"
