'Cornell won't, we will': Student journalists 'relentlessly' reporting on university rape
PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, September 30: The Cornell University gang rape investigation reopens. But first: students and prisoners protest in Iran "in a rare show of dissent". Journalist Evan Gershkovich speaks about his 16 months in a Russian prison.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets center the reopening of the Cornell case and the fact that it follows a civil lawsuit from the former student. CBS News and The Guardian US are the only ones to foreground text messages, with The Guardian specifying that the excerpts were reportedly exchanged days after the alleged assault and that one unnamed male defendant appears to apologize. ABC News differs by emphasizing the prosecutors’ defense of their 2024 nonprosecution decision, while PBS NewsHour and BBC keep the focus on the renewed criminal inquiry.
