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,
~Mr. K
