Breaking Stale News
It was BREAKING NEWS! when it was posted on Friday around 6:00pm. It could have still been considered as BREAKING NEWS! when the story was updated a few hours later.
But on Sunday evening, around 7:00pm, this item is not BREAKING NEWS!, but STALE NEWS.
As one WPTA 21 anchor found out early on, TV in Fort Wayne operates 7 days a week. Why the station's website is so stale, especially on weekends, really has no good explanation. The other TV stations in town don't seem to have a problem when it comes to keeping things current.
Here's the Maven's gripe: It's 48 hours later, and your website still shows this story in the prime position on the page as BREAKING NEWS!
Not only that, but they were the only outlet not to send a photog to site until well after daybreak.
