Please join the Phi Kappa Literary Society this Thursday at 7 p.m. as we gather to discuss the resolution BIHR: News media should publish leaked documents.

Brother Plaskowsky will be First Affirming, and Brother Hattori will be First Negating. The definitions will be set as such:

News media - reputable* disseminators of information to the general population by means of print, broadcast and Internet (*organizations and their affiliates that follow the standards of professional journalism as set by the SPJ ex. CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, NYT, Washington Post) 

should - bears an obligation to serve the public’s interest

publish - print or release material 

 leaked documents - documents that have been illegally obtained by a 3rd party source

 

Come let us know what you think at Phi Kappa Hall on North Campus!
