Vox Populi Blogger Forgets to Include Factual Error

LEAVEY–Vox Populi blogger Kate Bradley (COL ’11) faced scrutiny this weekend after failing to include the publication’s customary factual error in her most recent post. Despite ample opportunity for mistakes, Bradley’s post “Walsh Gallery to Host Local Art Festival” correctly identified all relevant names, organizations, locations, dates, and times.

Though the embarrassing gaffe was quickly noticed by commenters and corrected by misidentifying festival director Kendra Blaine as “Kendrick Bklane,” the blog’s reputation may not be so easily mended. While Bradley was reprimanded for her costly mistake, she will be allowed to retain her position as a blogger permitted she undergoes online journalism training to ensure the inaccuracy of her future posts.

In a statement released to the press, Bradley apologized for her failure and pledged to atone for her gaffe. “I understand thatt I have failed to meet our exacting standards, but I can rpomise that from here on ouyt no one will work harder than me to insure that our posts are as riddled with errors as possibel,” said Bradley.
