I agree. But 10 parts? I have never, in almost 20 years in journalism, and many more years reading newspapers, seen a 10 part series on anything, let alone a sensational but largely meaningless murder case. It simply defies belief. You'd have to add together the Pulitzer winning series on Walter...- Seanibus

Women aged 100 will be able to give birth within 30 years, Scientists claim
Oy, vey. I am just 40 and my two little boys are running my butt ragged. I can't imagine having to run after a five year old and nine year old at age 109.- Seanibus

study: "..flirty women make husbands love their wives less.."
No, no, don't over think this. We men are just pigs. It's that simple. As one comedian (which one I cannot remember) once observed, when was the last time you heard a man say "no, no, I'm not that kind of boy"?- Seanibus

Oh, I don't argue that it ISN'T news; I just wonder at the sense of perspective. I've been around the business a long time and you almost never see a 10 part series on anything at all. That's an astonishing commitment of time, effort and real estate on the page. I don't see any obvious news hook...- Seanibus

my question, of course, is more technical - is this case worth a 10 part series in one of the nation's great newspapers? It was an interesting case in many ways, and certainly became a brief pop culture phenomenon, but really is it worth sending the Post's talented crew of reporters and editors...- Seanibus

Reporter Needs Dictionary
Not to defend the particular error (I'll flea that scene any day), but as a career reporter I do have to pipe up and point out that many stories are produced under enormous time pressure and under less than ideal circumstances. When you write thousands of words a week, it is not surprising that...- Seanibus
