Even Real Journalists Screw Up

You kids in the WOWO News room, as well as your colleagues at the TV stations, are off the hook today.

For your viewing pleasure, an instance where real journalists at a real newspaper failed to provide all the facts required of a complete news story. Of course, the Maven is referring to the famous who, what, where, when, and why. The "famous five". "Where" seems to be AWOL in this story from the News Sentinel.

Here you go:






Of course, if newspapers still had editors and proof readers, this story would never have gotten out of the house.......

    LOL...very well said.
    I used to work for a publishing company when we DID have to proof-read everything...but it was worth it.
    I miss those days (and those jobs).
    Stay safe.
