VITAMEDIAS

No que dá escrever notícias em antecipação e como se reclama dos "perigos do debate online"...: Journalist suffers bloggers' ire: The perils of online debate were laid bare yesterday when the Daily Telegraph pulled a blog by its US editor after his confession to writing a news story about Saddam Hussein's hanging before the event had taken place resulted in abusive messages from readers.
For the last three days, Toby Harnden, one of the newspaper's senior correspondents, has been subjected to an onslaught of criticism from readers of his blog after it emerged a news piece, which was published in the Daily Telegraph, was littered with inaccuracies, including the claim that Saddam was wearing a hood when he died. Harnden said that, due to the time difference between Washington and Baghdad, he had to prepare his report on the hanging before the event took place.
