It is stunning to me how many inaccuracies there are when you start comparing news stories on the same subject. Client confidentiality prevents me giving the specifics, but last week I was going through an article on Newsweek's site and discovered that the writer has put the number 70 trillion where everybody else had it listed as 70 billion. I emailed them about it and never got any response, although the number was corrected a few short hours later. Go figure. As a pro-blogger I am constantly doing news roundups for various clients.
