Los Angeles Times
The paper says it investigated
Eric Slater's March 29 story on frat hazing at Cal State Chico and "concluded that the article fell far short of Times standards." An editor's note says: "Beyond the specific errors, the newspaper's inquiry found that the methods used in reporting the story were substandard. The quotations from anonymous sources and from two named sources, a Mike Rodriguez and a Paul Greene, could not be verified." The paper cites other errors, too. Slater
tells the Chico Enterprise-Record that he's hired a wrongful-termination lawyer.
