Graduate journalism students at prestigious Columbia University are upset after rumors circulated at the school and in the media that one or more members of a media ethics course cheated on an exam. Some are concerned that the scandal will taint their degree from Columbia– a degree which costs close to $100,000 to obtain. The professor of the course is giving a make-up question of sorts, dealing with rumor, anonymous sources and ethics at a fictitious newspaper. Perhaps this experience will be the most valuable lesson in ethics these students could receive.
