Week 13
Latest on the PSB debate: Civic Party (Alan Leong’s party) views on the PSB Review Report on Wednesday (click here to see the press release).
Next week there are no workshops, but I will make a posting here to announce details of the final assignment.
Meanwhile, please read Chapters 6 and 10 of “Elements” before next Thursday’s lecture. As well as more on Beat and Investigative Journalism, Professor Chan also plans to talk about journalism ethics and responsibilities.
Freedom of the press, like other rights, comes with responsiblities. For example, when is it acceptable for reporters to go undercover? Pay for stories? Use anonymous sources? Hidden cameras? Can you think of recent cases when reporters used hidden cameras? Be prepared to ask questions.
