The reaction to GanjaGate keeps rolling in.
There's this from StonesFan:

The fact that the station has ignored this story, which, to repeat, got its subject tossed into jail (!!), is an embarrassment -- or, should be, to any self-respecting journalist.

But most of them aren't journalists -- they're news readers with bad pronunciation.

And this from Ashvegas Refugee:

Michelle,
If you are a photojournalist, than you know that asking someone to do something so you can photograph it is unethical - asking someone to do something illegal so you can photograph it is even more unethical. Standard 5 of the National Press Photographers Association Code of Ethics reads:
"While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events."
If someone is truly committed to building a career as a respected journalist, they won't build it like this. If Charu is everything you say - she'll take responsibility for it, learn from it and become a better journalist as a result.
