Daily Beast Removes Article on Gay Olympians in Rio; New York Times, 8/12/16
Christopher Mele and Niraj Chokshi, New York Times; Daily Beast Removes Article on Gay Olympians in Rio:
"The article drew significant backlash from gay leaders and athletes. Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and chief executive of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said on Twitter: “Thoughtless @thedailybeast piece puts LGBT athletes in danger. It should be removed & replaced w a real story about violence LGBT ppl face.”... Robert Drechsel, who retired last week as the James E. Burgess Chair in Journalism Ethics and director of the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, described the article as “thoughtless, insensitive and unethical.” He said it was good that the article had been removed but that it came too late. “It’s hard to find the words to describe,” he said. “Why in the world — why in the world of journalism — would anyone do this?”"
