That's one story you didn't see in the Raleigh News & Observer last week, notes Ted Vaden. "The newspaper has much to be proud of," he says, citing key disclosures made by the paper. But "I thought there were serious missteps in the news coverage in the first weeks," he adds, including a delay in publishing the accuser's prior arrest record, "after laying out in detail the arrest records of 15 lacrosse players on minor rowdiness charges (none of whom were charged in the rape case.)" || Related Howard Kurtz and Harry Reynolds columns. || More editor/ombud columns:
