Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Sept. 10

The Thursday, Sept. 10 edition of The Herald-Dispatch featured minimal errors and was well written overall.  The main error I discovered was on the front page in an article dealing with the 9/11 anniversary.  The date said Sept. 11, 2011 when it should have been 2001.  That jumped out at me and even though it was a minimal error, it was a big one dealing with a topic of the magnitude of 9/11.

I found the most errors in the sports section, and that makes sense.  Most newspapers tend to follow that pattern.  Again, there was nothing serious, but the errors still were there.  I found several instances where there was wordiness and unnecessary words as well.  But all in all, I found this edition to be well written overall.
