Editorial Failure – smh.com.au – China Blocks Facebook

Today’s editorial failure comes direct from the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald.

china-blocks-facebookIn the article by Nichols Kristof we have the headline “Chinese – shoot but don’t tweet” and the byline of “China blocks Facebook, but not guns.  Go figure.

A quick search of the article for the term “Twitter” only finds one reference:

“The government is also trying to crack down on the Chinese version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, by making users register with their real names.”

So, here at The Newsette we fail to understand how this headline slipped past the editors – or perhaps no one at SMH.com.au knows the difference between Facebook and Twitter.

Editorial Failures From Popular News Websites

The decline of editorial accuracy on modern news websites has been so rapid that it now appears that journalists, bloggers and webmasters no longer seem to care if their content is even readable.

As someone who reads a number of Australian news websites on a daily basis, I often find numerous editorial failures on a daily basis that once would have been considered an embarrassment to the newspaper itself however nowadays seems to be commonplace.

The most common failures come from news.com.au and smh.com.au where you would sometimes think that a 10 year old child would be able to spot the errors however fortunately for us here at thenewsette.com it gives us a daily laugh at the expense of the major Australian newspaper websites.

So, to ensure that we aren’t the only ones having all the fun we are going to be starting an ongoing series that highlights the stupidity found in modern news.

Join us for the journey and feel free to share your comments and let us know what you think about modern news editorial checking.
