Because every story needs a Pokemon angle
Twenty four hours can be a long time in journalism.
Take Sydney’s fine tabloid masthead the Telegraph.
Saturday saw The Daily Telegraph censured by the press watchdog for using misleading headlines.
Today, we see this dramatic headline – “Woman dies in Pokemon hit and run” – on page three of The Sunday Telegraph:
WOMAN DIES FROM BREATHING AIR.
The woman and her friend were seen earlier in the night breathing air. Experts have issued a warning about what may be a dangerous practice.
Absolutely disgraceful, especially for family and friends of the poor girl who tragically lost her life. As at 1 August 12:47pm, news.com.au homepage still has the headline ‘woman killed while out playing Pokemon Go’ and her picture.
