buckeyemike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Did you see the by line? BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER I think she had to make a quick phone call. One of my favorite examples of lack of proofreading in the newspaper: About forty years ago, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a paper not known for Pulitzer winners, had the following phrase for a night of college basketball games in New York. It came out as the "Madison Square Garden F--- You Classic". Of the handful of callers who phoned the Star-Telegram to complain, one asked, "Is this what you print in your newspaper?" The ombudsman replied, "You should have seen what was in there before we cleaned it up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
