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

At least she went with FOX News, not that liberal garbage CNN.
Except strangely I watch CNN...
Either way, I can't stand Jack Cafferty's liberal viewpoints that shouldn't be shown on television. He called Sarah Palin pathetic. I shot back on his blog: "you're pathetic."
I'm done with my rant...
Down with Cable News Network! JK just adopt a conservative bias like FNC.
