Accident Attorneys

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 | In journalism, as in life, the teachers are major mistakes. During my first message work, I thought to describe grässliche a road accident, but wound up in writing my readers about “Grizzly” Crash scene.

A few days later, I received a letter from one of my readers, who politely asked if I could ever visited College. I suppose that all journalists have their own private collection of amusing or embarrassing slip-ups. As we know, thin-peeled, journalists are reluctant to let people into their dirty little secrets - which is unfortunate because we can all learn from each other, errors.

So here is my list of the 10 worst mistakes in San Diego journalism.

No. 10: But I was told …
Let’s start close to home. The voiceofsandiego.org an embarrassing boo-boo on his own in February 2006, as a journalist Saturday Hodgson citing a spokesman for the value for the amount of private donations, the San Diego Fire Department.

Here’s how to read the correction:

Editor’s Note: A spokesman for the firefighters are provided, and then again verified increasingly, poor statistics on the amount of private donations of firefighters in the city has received information that have been published in the original version of this article. The real is not the amount of $ 937,000 $ 937 million. The spokesman apologized for the error Wednesday.

Conclusion: Journalists are not known for their math skills.

No. 9: Eat the Document
Stories of the border Mexico and the United States have led to a dramatic several corrections.

In 1997, CBS “60 minutes” in the right to have non-documentary evidence of corruption of the border in San Diego. At the end of a report by correspondents Mike Wallace, spectators were a document purportedly written by Rudy Camacho, Director of the Customs Service-San Diego.

He asked the Customs officer to deal”as quickly as möglich”die trucks in possession of a company in connection with the drug cartels in Mexico. “60 Minutes”, the paper by Michael Horner, a former customs officer.

Camacho continued because of defamation who claim bogus document. Wallace was the document and Horner. “Reporters can have, but I do not feel that I did not have,” he told the New York Times. Wallace should have at his former producer Lowell Bergman, warned the veteran correspondent via Horner. In 1999, “60 Minutes”, concluded the document was a forgery and apologized.

It was written by Horner, guilty of the U.S. District Court in San Diego to lie to FBI - Agent investigation of the note.

Conclusion: “60 minutes” did not learn the lesson. Rather Show Gate.

No. 8 dare not their watches
During the fall of 2005, The San Diego Union-Tribune said subscribers to its watches back, given that annual income is custom. The problem was that they were one day in front of him:

The front-page chart that ran in yesterday’s edition reminds people to resume their watches an hour would have said that the light of day, save time ending at 2 pm today. The Union-Tribune regrets the error.
