Sinopse

Social media is often the first harbinger of breaking news, but when that news is dangerous, misinformation and rumors start to fly. That’s where journalists step in to post solid news, appropriately sourced. But what happens if those journalists are college students? In this episode, we sit down with Ohio State’s director of student media to talk through how his student reporters covered the attack on campus this past November. Clarification: At one point in this episode, we refer to the text of the Buckeye Alert system as “run, fight, hide.” The actual order was “Run, Hide, Fight.”
