Rolling Stone is tapping the Columbia Journalism School to review the editorial process behind its University of Virginia story, according to a statement released Monday from Editor and Publisher Jann S. Wenner. “We have asked the Columbia Journalism School to conduct an independent review—headed by Dean Steve Coll and Dean of Academic Affairs Sheila Coronel—of the editorial process that led to the publication of this story. As soon as they are finished, we will publish their report,” the statement said. The magazine faced criticism after other news organizations found several discrepancies in the controversial article. Coronel and Coll did not give a deadline on the report, but added that Rolling Stone has submitted “a lot of files,” including interviews and emails to Columbia’s team.
