From The Record's sensational coverage of an alleged rape at William Paterson University in Wayne, you'd never know one in five women are sexually assaulted in college.
The Woodland Park daily's front page is dominated for a third day in a row by coverage of the charges against five WPU students (A-1).
More corrections
Meanwhile, two more corrections are published on A-2 today -- following two on Tuesday -- and sloppy editing elsewhere has readers shaking their heads.
One of the corrections notes two workers were "misidentified" in a Local front photo at J&R Lamb Studios in Midland Park.
Did the photographer, Don Smith, give the wrong information to the news editors, as photographers have been doing for decades?
Toll confusion
In an A-3 story on the proposed Port Authority budget, Staff Writer Shawn Boburg notes tolls will go up for the fourth year in a row "after Saturday."
Does that mean Sunday or Monday or when?
And Boburg doesn't say whether the discounted car-pool and green-car tolls also are going up and by how much.
Dropped word?
I've read and re-read the first paragraph of the Q&A with Chef Jeff Kellish on BL-2 and on NorthJersey.com (COFFEE WITH THE CHEF), and have no idea what his mother used as punishment when he misbehaved.
UPDATE: On a fifth or sixth reading, I see " working in the kitchen" was the "punishment," but that doesn't sound like discipline to me.
After all, if it was so distasteful, why did Kellish become a chef?
Also, is it the newspaper's style to lower case "chef" before a name? Why?
Or is that another typo from the overworked and under-appreciated copy desk, which labors late into the night while its supervisor, six-figure Production Editor Liz Houlton, laughs all the way to the bank?
On the next page, the continuation of a story on WaffleWaffle reports they are sold "at several Whole Foods locations as well as other retailers, including Inserra shops" (BL-3).
How many readers know "Inserra shops" is a reference to 21 ShopRite Supermarkets?
Second look
On Tuesday's A-6, a photo of the William Paterson University campus shows a sign with the school's name on it and two students walking in opposite directions.
The caption says, "Activity at the William Paterson University campus on Monday [italics added]."
Give me a break.
