BULLETIN: 'Show the people the light...'
Students,
While doing some research online I came across this very interesting wiki page. It is connected to the quote we heard today "Show the people the light and they will find the way." Well as it turns out that was the slogan for a popular news paper chain.
Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_E._W._Scripps_Company
Enjoy!

COMMUNITY FORUM TOPIC ENTRY: Feb. 13, 2008
TOPIC/SLUG: FAMILY AT WAR
BACKGROUND INFO: There is no such act or law prohibiting family members from serving in the same combat unit in a time of war. However, after the five Sullivan brothers were killed on the same boat during WWII, there were several bills introduced in Congress that related to family members serving in a military unit together. None of these bills were enacted into law. However, there are military policies and directives to discourage immediate family members from serving together.
TOPIC QUESTIONS: (1) Should family members serving in the armed forces be allowed to serve in combat zones together? (2) Are there any detriments? What are some possible benefits? (3) Should a law be enacted to prohibit/allow such a thing from occurring/to occur?
FORUM RULES: Use real examples and examples from the article to bolster your views. NO RANTS…use FACTS to support your response. If you assert a political, secular or non-secular view…you must SUPPORT with FACTS!!! Keep your response to under 200 words.
POINT VALUE: A WELL WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THIS FORUM TOPIC IS WORTH 25 POINTS. YOU MUST PUBLISH YOUR RESPONSE ON THIS SITE IN THE CORRECT FORMAT.
FORUM RESPONSE FORMAT: This is the appropriate format for a response to a question in this forum...
Your response.....remember it should be under 200 words......and it should be specific and contain some facts.

BULLETIN: The CIA Leak Case and Ethics in Journalism
Students, we are currently studying the ethical and legal responsibilities of the press, so I though this little current event would be an excellent example for you.
On Jan. 30, 2007, Judith Miller, a former New York Times reporter whom we dicussed in class in relationship to shield laws (see notes) was in court. Follow this link to read about her and your testimony in the proceedings: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/30/cia.leak/index.html
Then, to read more information on the whole case follow this link: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/cia.leak/
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to witness the principles of journalism in action. Remember, today's current event is tomorrow's history and a text book item!!!
Enjoy,
