Its not the timeline eg Years of occurrence, but the actual information on many of them.
IF they are wanting information from the public, and lets face it there are still hundreds of thousands of people who have never heard of the case, then the journalists need to make sure all the information that is put out publicly on these missing persons cases NEED to be accurate.
Whilst I understand some of this timeline was done by a member of the public, a sleuth from team MB I think, which is fantastic, but its not up to them to make sure all the latest information is added and or corrected if need be, it's up to the journalists proof reading it all, doing fact checking by either official documents, checking in with SL herself, or other persons closely attached to the case with the facts , BEFORE it gets released to the public.
There has already been so much misinformation on the case over the years, and now with all that has been discussed both in the podcast and inquest, there's no excuse for poor journalism.
The spelling of places, people and addresses for a start, the first two years in the timeline itself is incorrect and confusing for first time readers of the case, then it goes downhill fast most of the way through..
Did anyone proof read this before it went to print?
Fact checking is a journos job right?
Getting correct facts to the public is crucial to a missing persons case if they want anyone to come forward with information that might trigger a memory of that time.
Sleuths here could just about pick out faults in every year of this timeline.
Its appalling.
