A tough week for local media and quotations
Earlier this week, the Chronicle's Dwight Silverman pointed out on his blog that KHOU-11 didn't characterize a quotation of his quite right in an interview he gave with them.
In response, KHOU's Jim Thompson (who oversees the web news operation locally) helpfully posted the interview with Silverman to the KHOU website, so readers/viewers can decide for themselves (instead of getting a version edited by someone who quite likely knows much less about the tech side than Silverman or Thompson). That's how things ought to work, and we're glad to see both Silverman and Thompson using the web to further the conversation and try to get things right.
If only the corrections editors at the Chronicle had a blog, maybe we'd get more clarity regarding the newspaper's recent corrections of quotations.
