. MISTAKES. Because they are human, journalists make honest mistakes. A misspelled word, a misplaced comma, an error in grammar-these can all distort the meaning of a sentence. Facts may not e carefully checked. Numbers too can easily trip up a journalist who, in th scramble to meet a deadline, might easily type 10,000 instead of 100,000.
. FALSE ASSUMPTIONS. Accurate reporting is not as easy as some might think. what seems to be a fact today may be proved wrong tomorrow. The earth, for example, was once believed the center of of our solar ayatem. Now we know that the earth circles the sun.
