My favorite error to correct when I’m teaching journalism. But I’m worn down.

[Typos of the New York Times @nyttypos]

@nytimes "they were" should be "it was," @arappeport. You called Arizona an it ("its") earlier in the sentence, so "they were" is not only incorrect but internally inconsistent. Stop making so many typos on my vacation, guys

@GerronJordan @RedStickSteph @ILoveBlueBell Not as good as bagels, Steph.

This shouldn’t be big news in 2022. https://t.co/p67kCBHhpl

Like many of us in journalism, I was greatly influenced by a high-school adviser. She died in June at 95. I wrote about her for her local newspaper, The Inter-Mountain of Elkins, W. Va., and for today's edition of the statewide Charleston Gazette-Mail. https://t.co/XGHKPOgQTZ

Good luck.

@BGrueskin If you needed an argument to put even more emphasis on online, this is it (despite the Villages anomaly).

.@British_Airways My daughter and friends are trapped in Croatia without their bags, which British Airways has lost. It is impossible to get through to the airline. This is not right. Please tell me how she can talk to a live human being.

Who says people don't care about the news? @allisonallsop's story about a plan for LA House members to be substitute teachers has attracted 1,400 likes & haha emojis, 237 serious & bemused comments & 203 shares on @houmatoday's Facebook page. #lalege https://t.co/Mo5UBB9wv6

@lsureveille @PiperHutchBR Nice writing. More important is the action that you are taking.

Scan this “bibliography” and you’ll have some sense about the research that went into today’s astounding NYT revelations about ransom paid to France that undermined Haiti for decades. “Astounding” is not an exaggeration. https://t.co/Unr7vcGQ4l

The FBI thought he was dead. Now he's the last living witness of what led to the killings of four Black men by a man who would become a KKK leader in LA. Fascinating story by @LizRyanColdCase of the @LSU @ManshipSchool. https://t.co/KhnqBNvOtW #lalege #lagov

I couldn't quite figure out why a newspaper would say that the Supreme Court leak is a bad thing, so I wrote just that. Journalism professor: Leaks are meant to serve the public, not institutions https://t.co/ZT8FJpw2g1 via @theadvocatebr

@drewmckevitt It's not a journal or a book chapter but you may want to check the archives of the San Jose Mercury News. When I worked there, we ran several stories saying that the idea was hatched at a bar in Los Gatos, CA. I think there was more detail but that's the anecdote that I remember.
