Inaccurate reporting is one reason I wish people would exercise more care when posting links to newspaper articles. Frequently they are linking to outdated or flat out inaccurate articles which are then taken as gospel by Punaweb readers, especially those who are off island and don't know what the caliber of reporting is in our local paper. One of the downsides of the internet is that NOTHING goes away, the newspaper may or may not print a correction, but the original inaccurate information continues to bounce around cyberspace forever. I now hesitate to post on Punaweb anything positive about my school for instance, for fear that someone will immediately post links to a bunch of outdated and inaccurate articles that have been published about us in the past. This is a shame because Punaweb otherwise can be such a great resource!
