What Are The "Limits of a Journalist"?

Josh Wolf writes us: Hey Michael, Stumbled onto your blog post via Twitter. Thanks for writing it. If you could clarify one thing in the post it would be appreciated. At the end of your piece you say that I must answer to the Dean of the j-school, and I feel that this sentence falsely implies that it is the journalism school behind the threat of suspension. It is not the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism that moved to suspend me. The journalism school has not censured or punished any of the three j-school students who have been arrested at student protests this academic year in any way. In fact, the dean has written a letter to the Associate Dean of students opposing my suspension. The Office of Student Conduct, an administrative department of the greater university brought the charges at the request of the UC Police Department. I'd also like to add that I can't disagree I only answer to myself at the end of the day. But like every other working journalist I must answer to the standards and policies of whatever publication I am working at it if I want to keep my job. As I did during my year at the Daily Post in Palo Alto (here's a link to short doc about my job at the paper produced by Jason Sussberg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhW2uqDS0r8 ), but in this case the university feels that I am answerable a student first and journalist second. I am obviously a student of both the J-school and the University itself, but I feel that if I am in the good grace of the journalism school, I shouldn't be living under the threat of suspension. Best, Josh

Talk about a double standard on the J-Schools part...
