21Alive Needs A Map

This is not about laziness. This is not about a misspelled word or errant typo. This is a text book example of ignorance about the market that 21Alive purports to serve. This is an insult. 

This, otherwise, well-written news story about 2 lucky people, contains an error that even a grade-school child in the Fort Wayne Community Schools could recognize. 

Huntertown is NOT in Noble County. Huntertown IS in Allen County, platted in 1869, incorporated in 1966.

It's difficult for any news organization to expect to be viewed as credible, when they either don't care, or don't know simple information about the cities, towns and areas they serve. 


The Maven is certain that the 4,810 people who live in Huntertown would rather be paying Noble County tax rates rather that Allen County tax rates....but even misinformation from 21Alive  won't change that.
