bison73 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 HUGE!!!! coverup on this one. I'm shocked UND didn't issue a press release immediately!!!!!!!!! Rarely, is a DUI conveyed to the media. It is usually the local media doing a public records search and then asking about it. Door swings both ways. People bitched about a supposed cover up about Dorn and that was just inappropriate comments. Why should NDSU have notified the media when that was handled internally as well? Twist it any way you want because I know you will. But the point is you shouldnt be tossing anymore rocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Nope, but it didn't take me very long to find the police report at Portland State University. http://psuvanguard.com/news/crime-blotter-nov-26-dec-1/ Yeah, OK...this problem is a lot bigger than a fender bender with a parked car.

southpaw Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Word on the street is Emily Asche and Namoi Dahl are reportedly the two players who left. Hardee's file didn't show up on the public records search because it never left municipal court. Also, his first name is William and that wasn't common knowledge I guess.

I don't see the forum publishing any original stories about this. The Herald can hardly run a police report that says a "players dad says a player says the coach seemed drunk." Where did you first learn about the hit and run, the dui, the resignation and the driver's license issue? It was the Herald. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so McFeeley published a list the day before the Herald. What a scoop. Everyone will forever remember McFeeley publishing the list of applicants who have no chance at the job. Reporting based on initial police reports is like listening to the scanner and reporting that. Very little of it is confirmed facts. If the Herald runs that he was possibly intoxicated they open themselves up for a lawsuit if it was proven he wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 82SiouxGuy Posted December 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2013 People trying to be first to report something is a big part of what's wrong with journalism today. Many times the first person to report either has the story wrong or is missing important details. But at least they can claim they were the first even if innocent people are hurt by the mistakes in reporting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I could be wrong put I don't think the anyone would win a lawsuit against the herald for publishing what's In a Police Report. The mistake is in thinking the crime blotter is a police report. It's generally a one paragraph summary of what is believed to have happened but is EXTREMELY susceptible to mistakes. Any reporter who publishes a story with info from the blotter without talking to an actual officer is opening themselves up to a lawsuit. And I know the Herald spoke with a member of the PSU police department and their answer was significantly more official, and legally airtight, compared to a blotter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how the Herald list had more names on it than McFeely's if it was a cut and paste job. The Herald did have a list before McFeely's came out as they hadn't seen Marshall's name yet. I guess they were waiting until the end of the week to put out a list of candidates that likely won't have a chance at the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Twitter UND put out a press release about it. University of North Dakota Director of Athletics Brian Faison announced today he has accepted the resignation of head volleyball coach Ashley Hardee, effective immediately. “I would like to extend a sincere apology to the program, the University and the community for a serious lapse in judgment,” said Hardee. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work at the University of North Dakota, and I thank the entire community for its tremendous support over the past five years.” Faison said that a national search for a replacement will begin immediately. Yup, that looks like about 95% of the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree SS.com is great information sharing place, especially on this story but the first post is a tweet from the Herald. There is a reason links to herald articles are continuously posted in this thread... that's where the best reporting is being done. There are 7 links in this thread. 5 to Herald articles, one to a nice calendar and one to the PSU Blotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yup, that looks like about 95% of the information. The initial hey I got a story to tell was because UND was about to put out a press release stating they have placed Hardee on leave. It's not like the Herald had to do much. And after that yes I would expect the only newspaper in the town to continue to look into a big evolving story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The mistake is in thinking the crime blotter is a police report. Fair enough. I didn't click on the link just saw everyone saying it was the "police report" and assumed others were right when they said that's what it was.

So the Herald reported Hardee was put on leave and then just let the rest of the story fall in their lap? No calls to Hardee, players,player's coaches (who gave an interview), the PSU police, Brian Faison? No work to do here! All we needed was a UND press release and a PSU blotter and we would have the same info we have now, right? I don't mean to get snippy, I just know how much work a story like this takes to cover. It's not easy and the herald did a lot of work to get the facts, make sure they were facts and consistently update a complicated story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Ellen Kreiger's dad and Brian Faison would have been just as open and honest with a newspaper that only covers UND volleyball when they play NDSU. It's quite the moving target that people want the Herald to do more investigative-type reporting into the UND athletic dept but when they do they still get criticized because someone posts an unofficial police blotter that the Herald already knew about but couldn't use as a news source.
