First-hand reporting on last night's newsrooms from Done With Mirrors:
By that time, our presses were rolling and the trucks had begun to leave the plant. We were one of the papers that came out with the big, blaring "they're alive" headlines that later proved so heart-wrenchingly false.Posted by Ben Brumfield at January 4, 2006 06:41 PMWhat did you learn about newspapers? Nothing that wasn't always true. We try to bring you the latest news, but even when we do our best there's always going to be a time gap, and things can fall in it. Big-city newspapers like the Chicago Tribune have the luxury of replating during a press run. Some copies get out wrong, some get out right.
