The Blair Ethics Project

And I absolutely agree with Wasserman in this, because he went out there and wrangled in one of the most controversial journalism figures in history and allowed his students to learn from his presence. Shame on the videographer for failing to see what could be learned from Blair's presence on the campus.

"One of the things we want journalists to do is to go to the sources. We want them to feel that's what part of their job is, is to engage those people. The idea of relying exclusively on second hand accounts is something we don't want journalists to be comfortable with." - Edward Wasserman, professor of journalism ethics ; Great, great point by Wasserman

"add that to the reasons why Americans don't trust journalists"? I thought you said this story was about the decision of an EDUCATOR to turn Jayson Blair's corruption into a "teachable moment".
