I just had an incredibly similar thing happen with a slightly misleading headline. My legal tech company[1] was in the WSJ[2] on Monday, and the byline was "A nonprofit has developed an online program designed to help people prepare a chapter 7 filing without a lawyer"... which isn't quite what we are doing. We are actually licensing a product to legal aid clinics that do bankruptcy. The process is actually: legal aid clinic directs people to our software, we guide them through an interview, then we populate a PDF bankruptcy petition that we send directly to the clinic for a final review. So, while we have largely removed lawyer time from the process, we deemed that final review essential. The article did explain this by the end, but the headline got some communities pretty alarmed.
