I agree. But my point is that they should TRY to be accurate, which
includes interviewing (hopefully) accurate people; not just
whomever's nearby & wants to talk, and maybe get his name in the paper.
This may well be a lost cause!

do not archieve.

Russ,
I complained to the local newspaper about what I thought were grievous
errors of fact. I was told that they accurately report was said, but
make no attempt to ascertain whether the information was accurate.
So if
they interview someone who is not an expert or experienced with the
question
subject matter, they will accurately report what was said.
FWIW

Hi Russ,
it is a lost cause I am afraid. Headlines that leave you wanting know more
is what sells newspapers. Not accurate reporting.
No matter how easy you mke it for editors to check facts they are just not
interested. I am continually amazed at the total ignorance of reporters,
even about matters which I think that any reasonably educated person should
be abreast of, let alone a group of people whose business it is to
disseminate news.
Cheers
Pat
