Tomorrow at 2PM EST, the National Press Foundation is hosting a live webinar on the topic of what  can be learned from the infamous UVA rape story that was published to much fanfare and almost immediately discredited and taken down.

The NPF will dive into the story with a top media critic and the author on the Columbia University report and a journalist from the Washington Post newsroom that first raised questions about the story.

This will be informative for journalists and fascinating for other members of the public because the webinar promises to investigate: “What happened? How did accuracy fall victim to the lure of a great story? What reporting and editing standards can ensure that mistakes are caught and corrected? Would your newsroom have spiked the Rolling Stone story?”

You can reserve a spot at the National Press Foundation’s website, then proceed to learn from your desk.  Funding for this webinar was provided by the NPF Training Fund.
