Kunming media bungles Sept. 11
My office subscribes to Shenghuo Xin Bao, a local Yunnan daily newspaper whose name might be poorly/directly translated as “Lifestyle New Journal.” Coming back from lunch, I noticed it sitting on the desk in our entryway, and took a quick glance at the headline, which read “Construction on Yunnan’s tallest building will begin at year’s end” - and then I took a glance at the accompanying photo — the world trade center collapsing on Sept. 11th.

I added the red boxes around the WTC and the offending headline. Somebody in publishing totally screwed this one up. This is horrible! And the print version was even worse, because it was bigger.
