Double jeopardy

September 25, 2014 2:30

Dr Mumbo is no lawyer but it’s fair to say a young Victorian man might well be about to get a very good university education courtesy of Fairfax Media.

And of course, when you’re apologising for an error, the last thing you want to do is make the same mistake again.

So Fairfax might also want to look at the photo which has been dragged into their Facebook posting on the apology. Dr Mumbo is pretty sure TV personality Jamie Durie doesn’t work on the Fairfax picture desk.

Sometimes it’s tricky to make sure FB picks the right photo when you share an article.

Ummm it’s in the code – you specify image to use for each page. Define og image

This used to always happen with Mumbrella articles in Feedly. Usually Adam Ferrier’s headshot was against several unrelated articles and I remember quite a few rather unfavourable headlines that I’m sure Mr Ferrier wouldn’t like to be associated with.

Perhaps you can pass on how you recently fixed this to the Fairfax crew.
