While Ryan Lochte is the easy culprit to target in this incident, in my previous post I made an emphasis on the media that surrounded him blowing over the story once the truth came out.<\/p>\n

Sticking with that theme, I think there is a story in how the coverage was handled. Some journalists inserted their own opinion whether it be via Twitter, a column, or on broadcast coverage. I am interested in, in this case, how journalists chose what to report and if their personal opinion effected their coverage once the REAL truth came out.<\/p>\n

Here are some questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What did your coverage of the Ryan Lochte include?<\/li>\n
  2. Did you have a personal opinion on what the consequences should be?<\/li>\n
  3. Did you voice your opinion? To whom?<\/li>\n
  4. What is your opinion?<\/li>\n
  5. Did you read the apologies and statements from all four swimmers?<\/li>\n
  6. What were your thoughts?<\/li>\n
  7. Did you watch Ryan Lochte’s interview with Matt Lauer?<\/li>\n
  8. Why did you or did you not choose to bring Conger and Bentz’s innocence to light?<\/li>\n
  9. If not, were you simply tired of reporting on the story? Or did you feel a certain way about how clicks would come to your site?<\/li>\n
  10. Did you continue Olympic coverage post- Lochte story or did you simply end there?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think so many of the questions depend on how these are answered, but this is a starting point.<\/p>\n
