Warning: May be misuse of word conundrum, which I am too lazy to look up.
Felix Salmon at The Politico notes that the Wall Street Journal is apparently in the habit of re-writing Web stories and deleting the old story as if had never existed.
Troubling to those of us who learned to use newspaper accounts of events and activities as reliable historical resources. Not to mention the veritable elimination of the historical record of both events and profession observers (presumably the journalists writing the stories and editing them.)
UPDATE: Oops, Contrarienne stands corrected. Portfolio. Thanks, arps.

Your use of the word conundrum is correct as your faithful readers know it will always be the case.
ReplyDeletePlease insert snarky comment about the WSJ has learned the art of rewriting the news from the People's Republic of China when they rewrote President Obama's inauguration speech. It is all part of becoming one with the global community.
By the way, Felix Salmon writes for Portfolio.com, not Politico.
