My favorite error to correct when I’m teaching journalism. But I’m worn down.
Typos of the New York Times@nyttypos

@nytimes "they were" should be "it was," @arappeport. You called Arizona an it ("its") earlier in the sentence, so "they were" is not only incorrect but internally inconsistent. Stop making so many typos on my vacation, guys

Like many of us in journalism, I was greatly influenced by a high-school adviser. She died in June at 95. I wrote about her for her local newspaper, The Inter-Mountain of Elkins, W. Va., and for today's edition of the statewide Charleston Gazette-Mail. theintermountain.com/news/local-new…

@BGrueskin If you needed an argument to put even more emphasis on online, this is it (despite the Villages anomaly).

.@British_Airways My daughter and friends are trapped in Croatia without their bags, which British Airways has lost. It is impossible to get through to the airline. This is not right. Please tell me how she can talk to a live human being.

Is it newsworthy to report on--and name--what is almost certainly a person having a mental breakdown at a gas station?

Scan this “bibliography” and you’ll have some sense about the research that went into today’s astounding NYT revelations about ransom paid to France that undermined Haiti for decades. “Astounding” is not an exaggeration. nytimes.com/2022/05/20/wor…

@drewmckevitt It's not a journal or a book chapter but you may want to check the archives of the San Jose Mercury News. When I worked there, we ran several stories saying that the idea was hatched at a bar in Los Gatos, CA. I think there was more detail but that's the anecdote that I remember.
