In a town such as a Columbia that could give Washington D.C. a run for its money on a journalist-to-citizen ratio, it’s interesting that there could potentially be a case of quote fabrication.
It has come to the attention of aspiring journalists across the University of Missouri campus that a publication in Columbia could be facing [...]
