The Modern Era's Dewey Defeats Truman... Via The Apprentice







The Modern Era's Dewey Defeats Truman...
Via The Apprentice

The Modern Era's Dewey Defeats Truman...
Via The Apprentice
04/16/2004 01:11 PM

Maybe it's a sign of the times or a sign of the technology... or maybe someone just pushed the wrong story live. However, in a web-based modern update of Dewey defeating Truman, USA Today is getting some flak for publishing a story saying the losing candidate won The Apprentice finale last night. We've seen similar things with obituaries of still living celebrities showing up in newspapers. It does raise some questions about the process by which newspapers "pre-write" certain stories and what sort of approval process/workflow they need to push them live. Such is life in the world of one-click publishing - where you also have the ability to do a one-click delete... and hope that no one spotted your mistake, made a copy and alerted Reuters.

News Screwup
07/06/2004 01:19 PM
The rush to publish first is making for an awful lot of Dewey Defeats Truman style stories showing up this year. Earlier this year, USA Today published a story on their site with the wrong candidate winning the reality TV show The Apprentice. Last month, a Tampa paper incorrectly reported that their own hometown hockey team had lost the Stanley Cup, when, in fact, they had won. The latest is that the NY Post is running into some trouble for reporting that John Kerry picked Dick Gephardt to be his running mate, when the reality is that he picked John Edwards. What's interesting, though, is that the NY Post has simply deleted the incorrect story from their website, without a notice, explanation or apology. This certainly raises questions about how the press handles mistakes online. It's a running joke in the news media how they publish huge mistakes on page one, and retract them two weeks later in tiny print hidden in the "corrections" section somewhere in the middle of the paper. However, in an age of instant publication (where people can link to you right away), it seems like a more reasonable thing to do is to admit that you were wrong and post an explanation at that location, rather than simply "disappearing" the story and pretending it never happened.

Too Angry To Be Elected: Harry Truman


Too Angry To Be Elected: Harry Truman 12/15/2003 11:40 AM
There's an argument going around that Howard Dean is too "angry and brusque" and that his campaign is "giving angry, protest-oriented activists the rope they need to hang the party". Certainly, the Republicans are gearing up to push this angle. However, it pays to know history; specifically, the presidential election of 1948. That year, much to the surprise of the pundits and oddsmakers, Harry Truman beat Thomas Dewey by a healthy margin, both in the popular vote and electoral vote.
