Editors at the Northwestern University student paper "The Daily Northwestern" on Sunday issued an apology for what it called "mistakes" in its coverage of a campus event last week featuring former Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Sessions, who served a tumultuous term as attorney general under President Trump from 2017 to 2018, announced a bid to win back his Alabama Senate seat last week. He spoke at Northwestern on Nov. 5 amid heavy protests.
The editors at the paper from well-known journalism school specifically noted the photos taken at the event in their apology, noting that some students had found them to be “retraumatizing and invasive” and adding that those photos had been taken down.
"The Daily sent a reporter to cover that talk and another to cover the students protesting his invitation to campus, along with a photographer. We recognize that we contributed to the harm students experienced, and we wanted to apologize for and address the mistakes that we made that night — along with how we plan to move forward," reads part of the apology.
"One area of our reporting that harmed many students was our photo coverage of the event. Some protesters found photos posted to reporters’ Twitter accounts retraumatizing and invasive. Those photos have since been taken down," it adds.

Please clap.
They eat their own.
Why does a Pre-School have a Journalism class in the first place??
They sound like a bunch of three year old kids, Jim.

Nonsense! Are you journalist or not? If you are the pictures stay up. That is news that is what you were supposed to be reporting on. When people openly protest something in public they do so with the full knowledge that they will be seen and identified by others. That is a fact of life. If you are such a snow flake that this traumatizes you then stay home!

I find photos of Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden to be retraumatizing and invasive. I want their photos wiped from the Internet (like with a cloth). Who do I complain to?
Why doesn’t the paper just tell the snowflake students to grow up and get a grip?
(Today is Rhetorical Question Day)
I have to admit I am disappointed that Sessions has chosen to run, but not traumatized.
Photos and videos of Adam Schiff (aka Shiv) make me puke.
Do I get to sue somebody?
Poor little snowflakes.

In 1944, eighteen year olds were storming the beach of Normandy.
In 2019,eighteen year olds are scared to death because a former Attorney General is giving a speech.

They should call this generation the soft generation. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of cry babies in my life. They pee their pants if someone looks at them in a way they don’t like. They should walk around wearing diapers like a one year old. They should dress like they act.
Capitulation only leads to more demands and loss of control.
The 'ADULTS in the room' need to learn to tell the children throwing tantrums, 'WE set the rules, NOT YOU'.
Snowflakes triggered by an old man..................what a bunch of wusses.........................
He has no chance..............
Why are they upset by Sessions? Sessions did his best to undermine the big, bad orange bogey-man who-shall-not-be-named.
do they not understand this?
They didn’t like being photographed because they were acting like fascist thugs.
To think, parents are paying for these little darlings to become good little lemmings.
When is someone going to start apologizing to us normals for having to live with socialists and nannies in government? Or in the world, for that matter?
You go where the candidates are.
