The Tompkins County district attorney has reopened an investigation into allegations that a former Cornell University student was gang-raped by seven Chi Phi fraternity members in 2024, following a civil lawsuit she filed. The DA defended the initial decision not to prosecute, saying if social media claims were true, those members would be in prison, and plans to present the case to a grand jury.

All 9 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
