For those of you that read my thread last week, about the USA Today article - here is the follow up.
I posted a 'letter to the editor' covering a number of different items that were incorrect in the article. I also later found out, through the help of others here, that some of the stastics I thought was wrong, was probably correct.
I got a phone message from the reporter/author (Joan Murphy) last night, and a call from her this morning. She indicated that they have corrected the graphics, and some of the other information. I'm not sure that it is 'on-line', but if I find it, I'll post accordingly.
She asked me questions about how much I fished, how long, general knowledge, etc. At the end, she gave me her email address and also asked if I would mind assisting her in checking facts/graphics in the future when they did follow up articles and stories about bass fishing, or fishing in general. Not sure when that might happen.
However, if I get something to verify and check, I will probably also use the vast expertise here as a sounding board.
I was impressed that she not only left a message last night, but that she called again this morning. Always nice to find someone that is attempting to correct something that was wrong.
