An article was recently published in the Somerville Journal covering the Naked Run at Tufts University. The article, 2 photos, and 1 video was published online soon after. This article received over 100 comments the first day. Many of the bloggers demanded the photos and the video to be removed as soon as possible.
I guess this is a tradition that happens every year. But, that's besides the point. Although it had never been reported on before, it was on public property and it should be eligible to be fairly reported on. This weird act, that happens late at night, was indeed a public act that hundreds of naked runners participate in.
I can see where there is unethical issues that pertain to this story, like video recording hundreds of people running naked. So, perhaps the photos and the video shouldn't have been published online, viewable to the whole world without permission. I know I wouldn't be too thrilled if I saw a picture of me participating in this event...But, this was a public event and it was newsworthy.
