Good Deed, Story Gets Swift Kick

Somebody called the newroom to complain about my story about the Mt. Spokane kids making blankets for kids with cancer because-- wait for it-- I didn't mention her organization which also makes blankets for Providence Sacred Heart Children's Hospital! -- Cindy Hval.

DFO: Yes, this kind of thing goes with the newspapering territory. All. Too. Often.

Question: What counsel would you give Cindy?
