ORLANDO, Fla. — Pat Fitzgerald and Dr. Larry Nassar.
These two names should make us realize just how important dogged, in-depth, local journalism still is in a social media society addicted to clickbait and Twitter litter.
They both were in the news for the wrong reasons Monday when Fitzgerald was fired as Northwestern’s head football coach amid an abhorrent hazing scandal while Nassar — the infamous sports doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of youth, Olympic and college female gymnasts — was stabbed multiple times by another inmate at a federal prison right here in Central Florida.
