We like to think that we’re on top of current events here on Podunk, but this morning we guess we have to tip our hat to the Northern View’s portal to the world.
When the twin earthquakes struck the Queen Charlottes on Tuesday, any number of news services across the world were quick to record the event, providing some preliminary information on the temblors off the coast of the Islands.
But judging by the time post on the Northern View’s story, all news services were well behind the news gathering curve…
With apologies to The Podunkian, I’ve archived the link he refers to. That story was uploaded to our site by our sister paper in Terrace early this morning and, with the way our online presence is set up, that meant we here were unable to do any updates or additions to it.
Definitely acknowledge the strange time stamp on the original story, and am talking to our tech guys to see what happened there. Good catch by The Podunkian though. As an aside, the story I uploaded at 12:46 shows it was published at noon.
Well that was the spirit intended, I figured it was some kind of glitch, just found it entertaining that you and your staff were so ahead of the news cycle on this one…
PS nice to know that there’s still a sense of humour out there in the news world…
