Rest is fine

An article in Wednesday’s Metro section about a talk that Medill School of Journalism Dean John Lavine gave to alumni contained several errors.
Lavine — who spoke about the controversy over his use of an anonymous student quote in a piece he wrote for an alumni magazine — was incorrectly quoted about what he said he should have done instead. The accurate quote is: “I should have immediately said, ‘Oh, wait a minute, we never not name somebody; don’t quote a student and say ‘a student said quote.’ Don’t do that…’ ”
Lavine was misquoted when talking about a columnist for the Daily Northwestern student paper. The accurate quote is: “The student that wrote the column did exactly what I hope our students do.”
A paraphrase incorrectly characterized Lavine’s comments about changes in the journalism industry. The dean was referring to the changing journalism industry, not his mistake, when he said “this is part of something that will be with us for the rest of our lives.”
The article inaccurately reported Lavine’s comments about the columnist for the student paper. Lavine said the columnist for the school paper was upset about the changes at the school, not specifically about putting more resources into advertising and marketing at the school. Link
