Copy Editor Needed

I am sure it is not easy to put out a daily paper, but please read the story before the headline goes on. The case below is from The Home News Tribune. I did not post the first couple of headline errors I read this month - but come on. If the dateline is Old Bridge why put Woodbridge in the headline. As it turns out the bones were found in Old Bridge.


COPS FIND BONES IN WOODBRIDGE

OLD BRIDGE: Police on Tuesday were investigating the discovery of bones, reported to be human bones, in a wooded area off Perrine Road, according to Lt. Ross Moltisanti of the township Police Department.

No further details were available, Moltisanti said, because township police detectives were still investigating.
