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 threadscoming up.]

Re: Discussion
or a shrub that be movin' a mite suspiciously, I be callin' bullshit if they say somethin' and then be tryin' t' call it back once they realize it be incriminatin'. If ye be not callin' it off-the-record up front, I be seein' no reason why ye could be doin' it retroactively," Barbossa said. "That bein' said, I be thinkin' that unless it be classified, as Janet be sayin', most if not all of what a government, especially one that be accountable t' the people, be doin' should be up fer public inquiry and knowledge."
