While the Albany Eye blog likes taking shots at the poor quality of writing on CBS6 News' website, Capital News 9 could just as badly use an editor.
Take this story on the Time Warner-affiliated news site.
The title: Wood Theater celebrates 70th birthday.
As a Glens Falls resident, this caught my eye... since the theater opened in June 2004.
The shabbily written text of the article reads: It's one of the oldest community theater groups in the country and they're celebrating their 70th birthday this week with a compilation of musical performances from shows including the Wizard of Oz, Guys and Dolls, and Music Man. People are already lining up at the Charles R. Wood Theater box office to get their tickets. The big anniversary celebration is on Thursday and the show runs through Sunday.
The end.
Someone not familiar with the Glens Falls cultural scene might think that the Wood Theater refers to that community group, not to the building that houses that group.
Incidentally, the mysterious organization is the Glens Falls Community Theater.

also THIS ARTICLE about holly and her sister robyn.
the fact that Robyn is a German AND fashion major at bennington college, not a fashion minor, and such details as "50 gallon buckets" (bottom of the first page) which should really be 5 gallon buckets (imagine a 50 gallon bucket! jeez!) makes me wonder why they even bothered interviewing. unless it was to give them a basis for which to slightly alter all the details, therefore making the newsreporter look unprofessional to those who know holly & robyn.
not to mention the brigade of typing errors.
also, just thought you might be interested to see the article. at least the pictures are good.
