I'm a retiree in Cincinnati and have mostly stopped reading the Enquirer because of the atrocious errors and nonexistent editing. I grabbed a USA Today instead last Monday before getting on a plane. First thing my eyes fell on, right there below the front page flag, was the line "Lion's Suh is repeat offender." With the apostrophe right where you see it. Front page. Top. They don't know, or don't care, or both.
ReplyDeleteUSAT has gone full circle. It started off as a joke, actually got much better in the mid to late 90s, then began to regress about 5-6 years ago. It's pretty much made itself irrelevant now. Too many mistakes, stupid stories, dumb headlines, horrid design and just juvenile overall news judgment. I feel like I am killing off brain cells just by picking it up or looking at the website, so I try to steer clear of it.

Spreading like wildfire is the suggestion that AE is coming back. It was announced today he is leaving his Arkansas paper for "an opportunity of a special nature" he could not turn down.

DeleteThat story just wasn't good when it attracted attention. When Rolling Stone offended, at least they had the journalistic goods and knew what would happen.

Wow, that's big news. Stew WAS the Northwestern. There's no one there now who can fill his shoes. Wonder what the Mother Ship will do to replace him?
ReplyDeleteStew, enjoy your life now!
Oshkosh's ad director is also the GM/ad director for Fond du Lac, so she'll probably just be made GM for Oshkosh, too.

OK, journalists, what's wrong with this sentence?

I am going to come out of the closet tomorrow on the Gannett Blog. Which of you can guess who my lover will be?
ReplyDeleteProbably as made-up as your fake ID
Deletewow, now I see the danger of letting a 2nd grader use a computer
