Cornell’s Sexual Assault Case

After a probe into sexual assault allegations at Cornell University was reopened, some women took to the internet to share their experiences with sexual assault and the aftermath.

What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on Cornell’s sexual assault case, but the outlets frame it very differently. The Independent is the only one foregrounding a New York law and its effect on prosecuting the alleged assault, while South China Morning Post focuses on an online effort to identify one defendant, Winston Lee, and says that effort is spreading across borders. The New York Times gives only a brief campus-reporting setup and does not add a distinct angle in its extract.
