World News Story: Russia is Scaring the Crap Out of Us; don’t steal from A.P!
Posted by daycruz on February 12, 2008
I think I got a call at about 12:30 A.M from my editor about the world news story that I had turned in.
“You just cut and pasted half of this article!”
Before you call me stupid, just know that I really was under the impression that we could use the Associated Press wire and that my editor would just credit them and not me. Apparently I have to change a lot of stuff around in order to make it work.
Story has a happy ending though: I cleaned it up and rewrote the article but not before my roommate had the nerve to say “Shattered Glass” in a very sleepy and snarky manner. I learned my lesson as I always d and submitted the article.
It’s about this new row between Britain and Russia about the British Council. Putin’s regime is so obviously anti-democratic and anti-West that I am just waiting for Lenin to rise from the dead like in that old Simpsons’ episode. Remember that?
Lenin: Must crush Kap-it-a-lism!!
people run in fear.
Enough fun reminiscing– here’s that article at The Clause.
enjoy
