Journalism ethics: You shoiuld watch and read this
If you teach journalism ethics -- which should mean if you teach any kind of journalism at all -- you should hop on over to this N.Y. Times piece about Richard Jewell and the rush to judgment after the Atlanta Olympic bombings.
In today's environment, I'd recommend it be a discussion point in every class.
(This one has some special significance for me because I and my family stood in that very spot just a day earlier.)
