The Tip Off

Ep.17 Two sides to the story

A journalist is on the trail of a big story, unravelling how an 18 year-old rape victim came to be, not only disbelieved, but charged with false reporting after being attacked by a serial rapist. He is putting all the pieces together when he gets an email that will change everything… Journalists Ken Armstrong and T. Christian Miller talk through how they told a story of two halves, one that wound up earning them a Pulitzer prize.
