DQ2 : Post your response to the following: Investigative reporters are bolder today than they were 30 or 40 years ago.

How do you think the impact of Watergate has contributed to this boldness? Do you think investigative reporters are justified in being bold to get information for the public, or do you think they are too aggressive? Respond to your classmates’

answers by playing “devil’s advocate.” This means when a response posts asserting that investigators are too aggressive, ask how it is that the American public can get at the truth. When a response posts asserting that investigators are justified in being bold to get information, ask how it is that people can preserve their privacy and not be tried by public opinion. Remember that this point/counter-point type of discussion must be conducted with mature courtesy .
