If the accusations weren't against Syracuse, we would likely not have an issue with "journalistic integrity." We would probably be more in favor of ensuring that "all the facts" are released and that any culpable individuals are brought to justice, because children need to be protected.

Yeah, there's a conflict. Protecting REAL victims involves infringing upon the rights of the accused. It's a problem. It's more of a problem with those deemed "public figures," as "private citizens" don't have accusations broadcast to the world. I wish all of this could be done privately, but then you have the matter that the press CAN help to ensure transparency in the process.

Sadly, there isn't a perfect system. Life isn't fair.

ESPN... Well, they're broadcasting a report by one of their reporters. If they were to all deny the validity of the report, they wouldn't have aired it in the first place. It's not a surprise that they're backing a story they aired. Some of ESPN's programming provides for editorialism and opinion. Some programming is more 'newsy.' In the latter is found more objectivity.
