Do they teach do-overs in journalism school nowadays?

"...... Sabrina Rubin Erdely wrote the piece and came under fire for failing, amongst other things, to reach out to the alleged attackers for their account of the night’s events. Now, it seems Erdely is re-reporting what happened on the night of the alleged assault, a night where the fraternity allegedly at fault held no social gathering....."

Is she doing this for Rolling Stone? I gave them credit for accepting blame but if they are allowing her to re-do the story that would be a major mistake. No one is ever going to believe anything she writes ever again. She needs to find a new career.

Somewhere Jayson Blair is wondering whether he might be able to get back into journalism.

OK if you don't believe that story, let's see if you believe this one better.

What? We force politicians to resign, NBA team owners to sell their franchise, for 'racist, comments. Then, this writer is allowed a do over? More signs of how far off track this society has gotten.

You can not stop her from writing an article. A publication can refuse to publish it though. As I noted above, it's not clear what we have here.

What is the point of wasting everyone's time.
This can only lead to a deeper hole being dug.

If no one publishes she is only wasting her time. Is this backed by Rolling Stone? That is what I want to know. Dan Rather is still trying to find a way for Kerry to win the 2004 election. Whatever.

If all this is, is her trying to make up for her earlier very poor effort on her own, Whatever.
