Mining Tragedy

The Washington Post, like many papers and news organizations, briefly reported today that the trapped West Virginia miners were found alive. Thankfully its dead tree edition in the District was a bit more circumspect, reporting the earlier news that one miner’s body had been discovered and the others’ fate was unknown. [Note: Evidently the “District Home Edition” is circumspect; “District Final” is not–it says they were found alive.] USA Today was not so smart: Their front page proclaims the miners are alive.
