This was the result on day one: Things don't seem to have improved, as Matt Davis discovered this morning: And the story's been edited since then...to make it even worse: This isn't a fuss over a misspelled word here or a split infinitive there; mistakes are...

Former Portland Tribune writer Jacob Quinn Sanders moved to Arkansas last year, and has a marvelous story in this morning's Arkansas Democrat Gazette, about the shooting of Tim Nichols in North Little Rock: This North Little Rock neighborhood north of Baring Cross is home to less than 10 percent of the city's population of almost 60,000, yet almost half of the city's dozen homicides in the past...
