This is quite amusing. Well to me…*EDITX2* in OD

As those readers in Britain know, there’s an inquiry into mobile phone hacking by tabloids.

(For those of you outwith, I might write an entry about it when I’m not using my phone if enough want me to.)

Yesterday, a lecturer from Teesside Uni was arrested about it.

The subject she teaches?

Journalism ethics!

*EDIT*

If you scroll down to the notes, you’ll see one, anonymous, in Latin.

(Sidebar: classiest anonynote ever!)

I could just let you turn to google, but I’ll be nice and do it for you:

“The burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not he who denies.”

Good point. I agree. And it’s the basis of our legal system.

Except for this: I re-read the entry and I can’t see where I said the lecturer was guilty. I just wrote about something I personally found amusing.

And I’ve re-read the notes. I can’t see where anyone has said their guilty either.

Reading: it’s important so you don’t look stupid, bitches!

Will

*SON OF THE EDIT*

No further action against the lecturer. As I basically thought there wouldn’t be.
