My friend Bruce Bishop, who’s chief photographer and a very progressive thinker over at the Chronicle-Telegram (full disclosure: one of my clients), e-mailed me to tell me how the Cleveland Plain Dealer completely blew it in reporting the death of Cleveland city council member Stephanie Tubbs Jones. As it turns out, Stephanie is ill but not dead, and the Chronicle-Telegram did the right thing by not running the innaccurate news of her demise.

In his blog post, Bruce points out that, even though mainstream media folks, and often newspapers, like to point the finger of judgment at bloggers, leveling accusations of innacuracy and unprofessionalism.  Well, to the Plain Dealer’s chagrin, it turns out, they themselves made a “blogger mistake”.  Once again, a little irony goes a long way.
