Case Consortium at Columbia

New: http://bit.ly/bDRWul Our first case about reporting for radio, "Voices Behind Bars: National Public Radio and
Angola State Prison" puts students in the shoes of NPR
reporter Laura Sullivan as she debates her obligation to publish against
the well-being of those she profiles. She is preparing a story on two
men held in solitary confinement for 36 years at the Louisiana State
Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana, when she is told that broadcasting
her piece will worsen the prisoners' situation. This case can be used in
a course on ethics, broadcast reporting, or investigative reporting.
