They have also spelled blasé as 'blaze' in the same article.

Politics side, what an embarrassing rag.

(Repeatedly, not as a one-off typo.)

Yes but presumably you are not a reporter?

And if you are, and this was your headline, then you should be fired 👆(my attempt at Sir Alan)

The writers don’t write the headline, someone else does that.

it’s a cracker

Who cares?

I imagine Colleen probably does.

I mean, she must be used to Wayne hooking up with other women but this takes the biscuit.

NameChange215 · 19/05/2022 12:02

Anyone else notice the 'EXLUSIVE' as well 😀

Who cares?

You're going to need to expand on that question, do you mean to ask who cares that a newspaper made an amusing mistake in a headline?

Do you want actual names or would job titles do?

We could reasonabley say that the boss of the person who made the error probably cares that the paper has been made to look foolish and sloppy, the person who made the mistake probably cares as they now look stupid in the eyes of the readers. How far do we need to take this?

😂

what next? Coleen and Jamie?

Surely Wayne and Jamie would be the ultimate plot twist? 😂

Online they do write their own headlines and there are no proof readers and it doesn't go through an editor. You do it all yourself and hit publish.

Paper is different and even then it depends on the paper.

It varies from publication to publication. But yes such a plummet in standards since subs were axed and click baiting took hold.

Exactly. For Mail Online it's all about speed - getting the story out there before the opposition. This is why they are one of the most successful news websites in the world. They probably don't even care that much if they make a mistake.

The Daily Mail still has subeditors, as do other print newspapers.

Turefu · 19/05/2022 12:27

Cynical me thinks it was deliberate error to attract people’s attention. It worked.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 19/05/2022 12:55

Julianne went for a dark eye makeup look, with a nude lip and soft blush - as she accesorised with a golf drop necklace.

This is from a piece on Cannes and Juliane Moore from today.

Yes it does but my friend used to work for the Daily Mail and that's exactly what she had to do and what she's had to do for every publication she's worked at

Actually you have this wrong. It’s not an error. It was a fake story about an affair posted on a private Instagram account by Coleen Rooney that has been leaked to the press. There was just one person has viewed this.

It’s………..Rebekah Vardy’s account.

😆

thebellagio · 19/05/2022 13:19

the whole thing has been highly entertaining.

Is it this week a verdict will be announced, or will that take a few weeks?

The whole thing has been utterly disastrous for the Vardys. As for JV statement saying that WR never spoke to him about his wife during the Euros, surely the easiest thing is to simply ask Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville if they asked Rooney to speak to him?

Topseyt123 · 19/05/2022 13:47

Well, it's good that we have our own screenshot of the clanger on this thread if the Mail have now corrected it. 😎

They are not nicknamed The Daily Fail for nothing! I'm betting that they won't lift this thread from here to run an article on. Will they?
