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.]

"One might expect, regardless of actual sworn oaths, that information about another person's private life which has not been volunteered by that person, should not be considered public knowledge. The gods gave us a sense of distrection for a reason." If Crichton, Jaye or Rory had been in the room Callisto would have glared at them, instead she settled for glaring at Rita instead.
