P-T MISSES ONE DETAIL OF QM STORY

 

A very good and complete story in today’s Press-Telegram about the pending settlement of a lawsuit against former Queen Mary kingpin Joe Prevratil–except for the part where it didn’t mention that story it completed was broken on The District’s website Monday. That’s two days ago.

Perhaps this seems petty, but it’s longstanding journalistic practice for newspapers that are following up a breaking story to mention the publication that broke it originally–technically, that’s part of the story. Such competitiveness is an element of the best journalism.

Otherwise, good job.
