The culture is rotten and it will take real effort to change. It may need regulation, or rather a regulatory body with some teeth that isn't treated as a joke in the newsroom, but it will also need a change in training. Wannabe hacks need to learn ethics, as surely as they learn shorthand. If they do indeed still learn shorthand...<br /><br />Hopefully then these kinds of events won't happen, or will be very rare. At the moment they happen with depressing frequency.Dan Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320741202757960766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602771355396616003.post-66298871890511558342013-03-28T13:07:55.036-07:002013-03-28T13:07:55.036-07:00It's really very sad that we need regulatory s...It's really very sad that we need regulatory systems designed to coerce certain journalists into treating people like human beings.<br /><br />I realise, of course, that these two blog posts - which are excellently written - get at an entirely different point. But I was momentarily struck by the horror of the fact that we need to discuss these things at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602771355396616003.post-60301470549947887172013-03-28T04:05:32.331-07:002013-03-28T04:05:32.331-07:00Hi Julie,
