THREAD: I was one of the reporters working on the massive stories this week related to sexual abuse in the world of cheerleading, and I’d like to share a bit of the background of how they came about. 1/24
I’m an investigative reporter with the main newspaper in Memphis, @memphisnews and I contribute to USA TODAY. In early August, my editor in Memphis asked if I would help @USATODAY with a national project on cheerleading. 2/24
I said yes. I knew a bit about cheerleading because in 2008, I had interviewed Jeff Webb, founder of the Memphis-based company Varsity Spirit, which created modern competitive cheerleading. 3/24
