Rolling Stone magazine needs to be put out to pasture. The report on their latest failure cements it as incapable of even basic journalism. To quote the actual report:
"Rolling Stone's repudiation of the main narrative in 'A Rape on Campus' is a story of journalistic failure that was avoidable. The failure encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking. The magazine set aside or rationalized as unnecessary essential practices of reporting that, if pursued, would likely have led the magazine's editors to reconsider publishing Jackie's narrative so prominently, if at all." That is a clear failure of not just a few but every level of journalism. Elvis citings in the Weekly World News now come with a higher level of reporting than Rolling Stone. The reporter in question wasn't fired; I don't believe anybody lost his or her job over this, and my guess is because to fire one person at Rolling Stone for not being a journalist would lead to a lawsuit since nobody at Rolling Stone is a journalist anymore. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/a-rape-on-campus-what-went-wrong-20150405#ixzz3WUDAAxzO -- Kevin M.
