I've been reading today about the two journalists who have just lost their
lives in Libya.

And it made me appreciate... just how small-minded some people can be.

Greg,

I have had many dealings with journalists in the past. Sufficient that  
I ended up refusing to write any more press releases for my employer,  
the reason being that the P Rs inevitably so mangled, that I found  
that I was wasting my employers time in writing them. The press  
releases were written at my employers normal Flesch-Kincaid level of  
90 and a Gunning Fog Index of under 20.

As for the error being an easy mistake to make, I don't think it was  
really a mistake, but more like sloppy research.

Perhaps I should stop watching "media Watch". Pity, as it is probably  
my favourite TV show.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Many residents of Sydney's Upper North Shore would be saying " More
Power to the Owls". Pity the journo could not get the spelling of
Noisy Miner right. But then, hey, s/he/it is only a journalist and
after all, they only deal with facts , not words.""
