Off the Record | Columbia's report rips Rolling Stone – so, now what?
This week, Rolling Stone finds itself reliving embarrassing details of discrepancies and newsroom missteps surrounding a November article about an alleged gang rape of a University of Virginia freshman, known as Jackie, by members of a campus fraternity. Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism held a press conference Monday following the release of findings in detailed, 24-page review, conducted at the request of Rolling Stone .
In this edition of Off the Record , you'll hear highlights of that report, campus reaction and discussion about the story's impact on future coverage of sexual-assault crimes.
Listen in as Brent Jones, Paste BN's standards and ethics editor, talks with College Editor Taylor Maycan, Media columnist and Editor-at-Large Rem Rieder and John Watson, a professor at American University who teaches ethics and directs the university's School of Communication Journalism Department.
