Media Tidbits

Cut and paste? How can you screw that up?


From the WPTA story
And the WOWO story


The moral of the story, is that if you're going to copy off your neighbor's paper, you might want to try to copy correctly.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A simple rewrite of a police press release about the dangers of firing a gun into the air to celebrate New Year's Eve. But leave it to WANE TV to screw that up. Hey WANE, it's a toy gun (the orange tip). Do you think your viewers are idiots or did you want to be politically correct? Or,do you just not know what a real gun looks like? 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the Catch of The Day goes to WPTA.....

An earlier version of this story said that the Diocese had cut the award to Herx. Apparently someone at WPTA wisely rewrote the story before lawyers for the Diocese or others caught the screwup.  
Nice save.
