WANE -TV, Google Is Your Friend

Considering the myriad of resources available to local "journalists", one has to wonder how ignorant and careless mistakes like this happen. 


Uh, kids.....that's not the correct name of the agency. 

 Here's a hint:


WANE-TV's story quotes the agency, so they either got a media release or spoke to someone to get the information. Either they didn't confirm the name of the agency, or they really don't care. 
Uh, might want to leave this one off your resume reel.....

    with the advent of the Internet, one might THINK (that being the OPERATIVE word here) that finding the CORRECT name of anything would be second nature...
    Guess not when it comes to the local kids (interns) at the news stations.

    Good one.

    Stay safe.

    The Maven usually can dismiss errors like this by blaming cheap-ass owners demanding that employees continually do more with less. In this instance, however, it would appear that complacency and laziness may have contributed to the fubar.
