What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Cornell’s handling of a rape allegation and the decision to bring in Sally Yates or another outside review. NPR and Al Jazeera are the only outlets here to foreground the new review itself, with NPR specifying Yates’s former acting U.S. attorney general role and Al Jazeera saying she will examine investigations, discipline and campus police response. Fox News instead frames the story around an “outrage” and a no-confidence vote, while Democracy Now! uses the case to emphasize broader questions about rape culture and failures in sex-crimes prosecution.
