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.

Achtung, verboten.
They no longer recognize true heroics. These young 'adults' only see themselves as 'victims'.
Wall up these colleges and universities, and lock the snowflakes in so that they cannot harm anybody else. Truly make them the giant daycare centers that they’ve become.
Something tells me part of their "triggering" might have been fear that their parents would see them in the photos and the tuition checks would stop coming in.
That's what the Second Amendment is for.
The only way that we will lose this country is if we refuse to fight for it. The 'cold' civil war has been going on for years. The farce of an impeachment 'hearing' is heating it up. And one of these days either the snowflakes or the Deep State will hit us one time too many and we are going to hit back.
When that happens, the full fury and rage of patriotic Americans will be unleashed. Not if; when.
“ The Daily is not alone in its belief that journalism should never upset its readers. ”
If there is one thing true in life, it is that Jeff sessions is not traumatizing.
The school’s “journalists” in training are learning that today they are not supposed to be journalists, their duty is to the Left’s political agendas. That is not sarcasm. That is what their college education is teaching them.
Dad said “If you don’t want people to see (and photograph) you acting a fool, don’t act a fool”
Sam would take a flamethrower to these little fascist babies.
