In the case regarding Mrs. Clinton’s personal emails, it seems like reporters may have been too trigger happy. The problem with news coverage is that everyone wants to be the first one to publish a story. They don’t stop to think over the facts they were given because it would be too “detrimental” to wait and be the last one to cover the story than be the first and get the story wrong. Reporters of the Times defended themselves saying that they wrote what they were given from the justice department, that it was a criminal investigation. But it is suggested that the department didn’t even know what kind of investigation they were doing until a day or so later. I think it would have been better for the Times to tell the readers that perhaps it may be a criminal investigation based on what this source has said but it hasn’t been confirmed yet instead of jumping the gun and calling it a criminal investigation because of one person’s view. Margaret Sullivan claims that news should be about “Less speed. More transparency”. I agree with this philosophy. If the news waited to cover the story a day later, they would have been able to tell the correct details of the situation instead of going off on a tangent of one person’s opinion. Also, the reporters should have acknowledged their mistakes instead of changing the facts and leaving the readers confused.
