My Hometown Paper

Imagine my joy when I opened up my paper over the weekend and read an op-ed by Joanne Jacobs about blogging. Finally, something written on blogging by somebody who knows what they are talking about. But I immediately noticed that they had the URL for Powerline instead of Free Republic. I checked Joanne's blog, and it turns out she sold it the the SF Chronicle as well, where they have the correct URL. There's an embarrassing comparison - the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, worse than the Chron.

Let me be honest: I'm pretty sure this is my error. I supplied the URLs. Odds are the Chron checked, figured out I'd duplicated the Powerline URL and fixed it, while the Post-Dispatch didn't check.

So much for those Post-Dispatch fact checkers. I think I made a mistake as well - it didn't run as an op-ed but may have been in the News Analysis section (which is just a fancy word for Opinion but sounds much more authoritative).

Hey, enough with the Chron bashing, it's become a much better paper (at least on technology) in the last few years since you were reading it regularly over your college breakfast.

Joanne Jacobs has just put a great article on
Tech Central Station Rigor Free Research that highlights the lack of real reasearch into educational methods and points to the What Works site. Interesting, and somewhat depressing, reading if you are concerned about K-12 education.
