I worked for a company years ago where we had a pilot leave and a few months later had a crash flying for another company.A local jurno wanted to print a story about the pilot and our company.Our management statement was along the lines of ,the pilot hasnt worked here for several months,however our thoughts and prayers go out to the pilot and family for a speedy recovery.
The jurno in question ignored this and our company name in a photo was on page two with the headline former"our company name" crashes aircraft.The rest of the story was just as beefed up,including our company statement according to the jurno was no comment.If thats not poor journalism i dont know what is.
But what is it they say never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
