Lessons on Making Mistakes

As hard as we try to not make mistakes in this newspaper, they happen. The difference between making a mistake on a text and making mistake in the newspaper, is in the thousands of views. Sometimes, mistakes in your local newspaper are not our fault. For instance, a few weeks ago, we had beautiful yellow balloons on our front page as part of our news story about Sales Along 84. However, when we got our printed papers back to our office that Tuesday morning, before they went out to newsstands Wednesday, we discovered the printer hadn’t properly adjusted the color and the balloons turned out green.
