Media Covering Media = Cluster Foxtrot


First, congratulations to Terra Brantley, moving from mornings to 5, 6, and 11pm anchor on WANE-TV. Well deserved. 

Those are the roses. 

Now, here's the brickbats

<heavy snark> 
"Congratulations" to the News Sentinel for screwing up a simple news story.


Please note the headline is correct, as is the body copy. But the cut line (box beneath the picture) states that Tara is the new Morning anchor.

If you can't quite read the fine print it says "Terra Brantley will become WANE-TV's new morning anchor after the departure of Heather Herron in May". 

In the Maven's opinion, the News Sentinel hasn't been the same since they took away the printing press.

    Wow...you never know HOW many ways these people can screw up the obvious, can you?
    I mean anyone who LIVES here can figure this one out (and that would even include all our "government-sponsored" neighbors)...LOL.

    Stay safe out there.
