New York governor attacks handling of Cornell gang rape case, appoints special prosecutor

What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Cornell’s Jane Doe case and the broader campus response, but the framing varies sharply.

Reuters instead leads with Governor Hochul and the appointment of Letitia James as special prosecutor, while Newsweek is alone in centering the question of Jane Doe’s changing account.
