Slow News Day - Send Nasty Emails

The Maven usually does not publicly respond to baseless criticism, however, today is an exception.

In a blog posting yesterday, the Maven thanked WANE TV for quickly correcting a misspelled word in an online story involving Dana and the City. The word in question was "axle". 

While the volume of complaints were quite small, it's quite clear that one of the newsrooms in town questioned the existence of a misspelling and it was not the WANE TV newsroom that was upset.  

The Maven is rather amused that another Fort Wayne newsroom would have the luxury of time to compose and send rather tasteless emails from company-owned assets, but that must be how 20-somethings entertain themselves on a slow news day. 

Below you will see the first issue of the story on the left (the Maven apologizes for the lousy quality) and the corrected version on the right. 


So, ladies, there's the story you said (in rather vulgar terms) did not exist. Feel better now?
