thebitterguyThe National Post has won an international Journalism award!
The Daily Izzy has tied for first place in the Error of the Year award provided by RegrettheError.com. The award was for the front page banner headline story entitled Iran Eyes Badges for Jews.
This is from their extensive retraction of the story, emphasis mine:
Of COURSE they didn't.
The Daily Izzy has tied for first place in the Error of the Year award provided by RegrettheError.com. The award was for the front page banner headline story entitled Iran Eyes Badges for Jews.
This is from their extensive retraction of the story, emphasis mine:
We acknowledge that on this story, we did not exercise sufficient caution and skepticism, and we did not check with enough sources. We should have pushed the sources we did have for more corroboration of the information they were giving us. That is not to say that we ignored basic journalistic practices or that we rushed this story into print with no thought as to the consequences.
Of COURSE they didn't.
