Duck hunters fouled by newspaper editing error
HUNTING -- The waterfowlers featured in a story originating in Duluth, Minnesota, may have had to do a lot of explaining to their significant others when an altered version of the photo caption came out in the Bismarck Tribune.
Just what were they hunting for?
Either way, it looks like they may have been screwed by a copy editor.
The Tribune later posted the following:
The Tribune inadvertently printed an inappropriate word in a cutline in Thursday’s Tribune, we sincerely apologize for the error. We take these matters very seriously, and are taking necessary steps to ensure they don’t occur in the future.
We expect to provide a higher quality product and again, apologize for the mistake. We appreciate those who have reached out to us regarding the matter, we will strive to do better in the future.
--The Bismarck Tribune
The hunters likely will quickly forgive, but not forget. I'm betting a copy of that paper hangs around in family lore for a long time.
