"I'm not dead yet"

| |

We always have a laugh when we see corrections in other papers. But it's not so funny when we do it. Like we did today. We wrote that a man was fatally stabbed...er....except he wasn't. We fixed the web edition, but the print will have the correction. What's worse is that it was my fault. As I tell reporters, every time an editor reads your story that's one more chance it will be screwed up. So they should read, if possible, their story after an editor reads the copy.
- we're also working on adding corrections on the web page.
ps. The headline comes from Monty Python's Holy Grail
