This looks like a great classroom exercise. I’ve been compiling the chronology of events worth pointing out to young scribes.
There are no winners there, no successes or celebrations. Just a few giant errors and important lessons.
I have a note out for Devon Edwards, the profoundly upset former managing editor of OnwardState, a student-run news outlet. (Read his Twitter account and you can’t help but feel for the guy. I’ve also written Adam Jacobi, the CBS writer who passed along what OnwardState reported. Hopefully they’ll reply to add a bit more perspective and give some insight into what went wrong and what can be learned from the experience.
