Rolling Stone, Don Lemon top 2014 worst of journalism list

December 27, 2014

The high priests and priestesses of media, also known as the Columbia Journalism Review, have weighed in on the worst journalism of 2014.

Among those cited by CJR for its 2014 DART awards are CNN, CBS' 60 Minutes and Rolling Stone magazine.

At the top of the CJR list is Rolling Stone for its narrative on "Jackie," a disturbing story about a University of Virginia undergraduate who said she was gang-raped at a fraternity.

After the article was published, the university suspended activity of Greek organizations on campus. Within days, though, big problems with the article began to surface, including the fact that the reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, didn't contact the alleged perpetrators of Jackie's rape to get their side of the story.
