Sloppy Journalism Part 4

January 6, 2009

Another entrant in the Sloppy Journalism stakes is this one from the Herald on Sunday concerning John Key’s Hawaii holiday home. The named reporter is Jane Phare. Adam doubts she visited the location. The article looks like it was sourced from real estate brochures and telephone calls and maybe Internet research.

This is vacuous at best, ‘rich prick envy’ in reality and not well put together or newsworthy.

    Well blogged Adam – Keeping Stock also took the Herald to task for this – a classic case of the politics of envy.
