From Canon John
Rankin
Sir, - Thirty years ago, I
was a chaplain at Clifton College in Bristol when Christopher
Jefferies was head of Special Studies. He asked me for the topic
that I wished to teach for the term. I suggested "The Ethics of
Journalism", based on a book by Gerald Priestland, a journalist and
radio religious correspondent.
I taught this subject, using
newspaper articles and weekly periodicals, and sixth-formers
readily signed up for the course.
The subject could have an
appropriate place in the school curriculum today.
