I guess nothing surprises me. After her completely distorted coverage of UM and the "trial" coverage, including highly unethical journalistic practices obvious on their face -- the inevitable writing of what she wanted to write, followed by selective choices of her friends for "spontaneous comments" -- it was amazing to me that the same University for which her coverage has caused so much difficulty, including hundreds of people losing their jobs, that she gets a job there and a prestigious addition to her resume. The ironies abounded.
She was Sherri Devlin's path to fame and glory -- the Pulizer was as good as got! -- but I am surprised to see that since Devlin has been fired and has turned around and sued Lee Enterprises, plus additional turmoil in the newsroom since, that Lee would turn around and hire Devlin's fair-haired girl.
That prospective Pulitzer, the whole narrative read like it had been sketched out in advance, all Florio had to do was fill in the details with the names and lurid details. It was a Rolling Stone caliber expose which was going to buy the whole bunch, Devlin, Florio, Krakauer, their fame and glory -- right up until THE WRONG VERDICT!
