Statement by Dr. Hart Blanton, the chair of the department of communication & journalism at Texas A&M, acknowledging that the president (who resigned today) was not telling the truth about her asserted lack of involvement.
Also I kinda buried the lead, it also says Dr. McElroy hiring interference was based on her race. And that someone over his head changed her multiyear offer without his knowledge but used his signature.
@MediaLawProf "buried the lede" not "buried the lead"
@a_cubed I am a doctor of journalism and I reject “lede” on principle because it’s made up and silly
@MediaLawProf OK, I didn't realise it was so recent a usage.
@a_cubed no worries, I was just being snarky - it’s common in journalism, I just have always thought it was a bit pretentious so I don’t use “lede”
