One was a time fatal. The story was only seconds late, but we are in a deadline business where deadlines are absolute and ruthless. Make sure you are giving yourself a time cushion ahead of the deadline so you can file on time with confidence.
Another fatal misidentified who was building the shelter, by reporting the church needed to raise $1.5 million. In fact, it was the coalition and not the church doing the money-raising.
A third fatal said the city was donating $1.5 million to the coalition, when in fact the city was donating an old fire house where the coalition planned to build a $1.5 million shelter.
Please make sure that you understand the facts before writing, and after writing make sure you didn't unintentionally mislabel something.
To date, nine of you have had fact fatals. Believe it or not, that's the best any 200 class of mine has done this far into a term. So, congrats?
