Maven's Media Memory Lane

While the Maven seems to pick on WOWO often, and it's an easy target for sure, don't think for a minute that all other Fort Wayne media is exempt from ridicule or absent any issue of presentation and/or content. 

In no particular order, the Maven presents the Media Memory Lane....

First up, is our vaunted afternoon news paper, the News Sentinel where running spell-check has replaced proof reading. Double points for screwing the headline and the body copy.

Please hold your applause until the end of the show, folks.....

Usually an adept user of Social Media, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic (AKA the Phil) drops the ball in their attempt to use the English language.....

The nit-picking continues with INC/21Alive/WISE TV whose reporter's only knowledge of the legal system, apparently, is where to send the money for a speeding ticket. "OMG" a jury voted unanimously to convict the accused of murder!" Uh, that's how it works, kids - all have to agree. Shazzm!

Then, there's Fort Wayne Community Schools, the smartest people on the planet, operating a Facebook page that is not moderated, or appears not to be moderated. This post was up for days, removed only when the Maven called to inquire. Ooops. 


Ah, the challenges of the English language.....


The morning disappointment, the Journal Gazette's reporter is amazed to find that a gun store has guns in it.....

The challenge of new technology has been most hard on the 'old media'. As far as the Maven knows, the missing copy for this News Sentinel story is still out in space, circling Uranus...

OK, so the Maven didn't showcase a WOWO screw-up.....you'll have to wait for next time....

  2. Thank's CWMartin. That's one of the more tame messages the Maven received. If the Maven's attorney ever gives her OK, we'll have to post aa the emails from WOWO's disgraced former Operations Manager Hacksaw Henson. At some point, someone at FedMed must have clamped down on staff using WOWO assets and accounts when responding to crack-pot media critics.....

    ROFLMAO...yes, the ENGLISH language seems to be VERY challenging to those in the media...

    And, as to WOWO...I'm SURE there will come a time to take them "to the woodshed" soon enough...give them time.

    Good post.

    Stay safe..
