Lewis asked her if she was sure Peterson understood he was on the record and agreed to the interview and that if so she was good. But if she was concerned about using Peterson as a source in the future she could show Peterson the comments she will use just to be sure he was quoted correctly. 18. After discussing it with her editor, Collins, decided there were 5 possible courses of action. 19. After much consideration and discussion, Collins called Peterson and read him the statements, but he refused to listen and reiterated his threat to sue if any of his complaints appeared in the story. 20. Collins spoke with Wylie one more time and decided to run the story with an editors note explaining what happened during the reporting process. 21. While writing the story, Valenzuela called to tell her Peterson just filed his grades. 22. Collins jotted the times for everything down from when the grades were inputted, when the interview took place and when her story was published and put them in her story. 23. After the story went public, Peterson didn't sue anyone and continues to work at the university. 24. Due to the story, the university changed its faculty guide to include specific punishments for professors who don't submit grades by the posted deadline. 25. The universities' journalism department also stresses even more now the importance of making sure sources are aware of being on/off the record. 26. Collins now works for a major metropolitan newspaper and makes extra sure she and her sources know when they are on the record.
