The journalists who wrote most about Jason Arday, a Black Cambridge professor accused of plagiarism, say education is their beat. James Orr is a Cambridge associate professor, filmed by Channel 4 arranging for a US company to pay for Reform UK polling, now under a Metropolitan Police investigation. In the week after each story broke the same fifteen outlets wrote 163 articles about Arday and 105 naming Orr, 13 of them about him. The 15 bylines that led the Arday coverage wrote 0. Andrew Gilligan, who says Simon Woolley is unfit to run a Cambridge college, wrote two more Cambridge pieces after Orr stood down and neither named him.
