AP stands above pack -- again

The Associated Press again shined last Saturday night and Sunday morning when again some news outlets put out a false death report on Joe Paterno.

 

AP's guidelines are to be followed. We can learn a lot.

 

APME soon will announce social media credibility webinars that will help editors. And we will really tackle this issue at the APME conference in Nashville in September.

 

Details to come. But first, let's commend AP for the way it handles these situations.
