How We Broke the Julia Earl Story

Posted by nick pappas

While Telegraph reporters and editors are scrambling to complete our coverage of Julia Earl’s Wednesday trip to Tulsa, Okla., to interview for the superintendent of schools job, I thought it might be of some interest to explain how we got to this point.
