Former Wisconsin State Journal reporter Audrey Korte says she takes full responsibility for her story’s 'multiple factual inaccuracies.' After the State Journal posted the re-reported story, Lecker declined requests from Isthmus to provide clarification on how Korte’s story made it through the editing process. Tracy Rouch, director of communications for Lee Enterprises, the Iowa-based newspaper chain that owns the State Journal, did not return a phone call. She was convinced she had lifted the quote herself from a previous State Journal story in order to provide a human element. At the State Journal, she was encouraged to use her laptop and it was then she started to play around with Copilot.
