Editor makes up news on slow dayby David Zatz on April 1, 2016 at 11:00 am EST The editor made up some news today, April 1, traditionally a slow news day. There were several options available: Rehash some old rumors that were already reported, but which people have forgotten Comment on something people are commenting on in social media Bring up some feature or aspect of a car that’s already been well reported on Create a new rumor just for fun Ask someone to render a future car, so there would be an illustration to wrap a story around Find some crazy story (Dodge being dropped! Merging with VW!) and say it’s not true In the end, the editor fell back on the time-honored media tradition of writing about the media. Share me!RedditFacebookTwitterMorePrintTumblrLinkedInGoogle
