Bad reporting on church discipline case in Florida

At the GetReligion blog, Mollie Ziegler Hemingway discusses the way journalists have reported the case of Rebecca Hancock, who says she has been harassed and threatened with public rebuke by the leaders of Grace Community Church in Mandarin, Florida:

“There are so many problems with the coverage that it’s hard to get it all down. Note the last line of the first paragraph above. It’s not that the church is going to go ‘public’ with her sin, they’re going ‘very public.’ There’s really no need to overly dramatize the situation, particularly when the woman in question has taken her situation to the national media — and not the congregation.”
