One on K24 kept on mention the "death of Kim Jong the second" instead of Kim Jong-il. To the ignorant reporter the il (or Il) is a 2. NKTest.  Portfolio: Sold

Where were you when an international media house displayed North Korean flag and played Their song instead of South Korea? Eazy man, let them be at times For in him (Jesus) we live and move and have our being-Acts 17:28

Every vocation should demand one to always strive to be at their best, and this would mean lots of research and continuous improvement. Therefore explaining errors away as results of font blah blah blah is letting these blokes get away with professional laziness and ineptitude. How about extending that to doctors, drivers and circumcisers?
Is it possible it was the first time s/he came across the name. And are there editors in the media house?

to err is human so may be this was an 'honest' mistake but it only speaks to the fact that the media staff should research and understand contexts..... another peeve i have with them are the many grammatical mistakes one sees in the news coverage...i just cant get over it. it was bad enough that the teachers had placards with grammatical mistakes but this thing with the news coverage is a daily occurrence and points to laxity.

few weeks back, during syokimau demolitions, one Rita Tinina kept referring to excavators as Caterpillars even with their bold 'Hyundai' names clearly displayed on their side. She repeated again and again for a few times during the week. I felt sick to the bone and wondered if ever these news are ever edited before being aired.i.am.back!!!!

If you are a journalist (or would like to pretend to be one), the least you can do is be interested in what established media is reporting. So reporting that Kim Jong the Second died is gross negligence esp since BBC,CNN etc have been carrying this story for days.

Recent photo in the Nation showed a Kanya Navy boat just off the shore in Somalia. The caption said the boat was "in the deep waters" of the ocean. Deep waters indeed; the beach was clearly visible in the background! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
