Joseph Pulitzer of Pulitzer Prize fame is known for scribbling "accuracy, accuracy, accuracy" on the newsroom wall to underscore his expectation for reporters to get the story right.
I try to get the story right too - but failed recently when I posted that a popular donut shop would be opening up soon on the parkway.
I held up on sharing information on the project until a building permit was issued which took place a week ago or so. Heck - I thought the deal was done. But what I failed to verify was that that tenant was committed to leasing space in the building being built. An assumption gone wrong.
The moral of this story - peel back the onion - look deeper at an issue and get to the root. I'll do better myself for what I ask of my staff. peace.
