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.]

"I think if you say something in a public forum, you should be aware that someone, whether a reporter or not, probably over heard you. You can't have a private conversation in a room with more than one person, and if there's more than one person, than at least someone saw who was talking to whom. Did that make any sense or only in my head?"
