Journalistic Integrity (Wednesday, January 18 - 6th period)

Rita scowled at the class.

“Public knowledge. What is it? Well, as one might infer, it’s knowledge that the public has. Something widely known, and not considered secret.”

She crossed her legs, and took a sip of coffee. “Now, that can be somewhat subjective. How do we decide what is publc knowledge? Do you have to be sworn to confidentiality in order to know that what you have been told is a secret?”

She waved at them. “Discuss.”

[ooc: Yep, I am ill, so if you go ignored by Rita, it’s nothing personal. OCD threads coming up.]

"Not at all," said Janet. "But I do believe there are journalists who would use that definition."
