Wtol wrong neighborhood story

quote=171683

Good points.

As to journalistic accuracy, WTOL or Toledo News Now has not corrected their story as of 4:00 p.m., Feb 13. The incorrect story title also still appears on the homepage of their site.

I can understand making a mistake, but it should have been corrected by now, 16 hours after the story was first published. Apparently, "Certified Most Accurate" does not cross over from weather to news.

It might be best to leave neighborhood names out of a story to reduce mistakes and confusion.

From the time stamps for the WTOL story:

Police investigate shooting in Old West End
Posted: Feb 12, 2014 11:22 PM EST
Updated: Feb 13, 2014 8:02 AM EST

A commenter posted to that story at approx 2:00 a.m. today (14 hours ago), pointing out the mistake.

According to the WTOL story:

A call came in around 11 p.m. Wednesday of a person shot on Fulton Street, near Cherry.
