Overall, the biggest drawback I had on my lastest story, over Wittileaks, was who to talk to.
Of course, I spoke with the site's founders, and several of its members. But would interviewing faculty and staff really have much of an effect on the story. They can't join the group without invitation, and most probably don't even know the site exists.
So I kept my story at 3 sources for now. If there is some sort of faculty uproar after they discover the site via the Torch, then I'll write a piece on that.
One more note... the most interesting thing that I learned trhough this story was the prospect of a secret society or Greek "outing" of sorts with respect to their secrets. Could Wittileaks really put the Shifters in their place? Will the world finally know the truth? Doubtful, but there's still a chance.
I think it's pretty cool that there is something like this on facebook. Students have the right to discuss rumors from fact.
