This would be really good to apply to watching spin on various verticals.
Such as entertainment and financial articles...
Recall during the banking crisis of 2008 there was the article stating that the EU was about 16 TRILLION in debt crisis, but then that was too alarmist and they didnt. Want that getting out, so they edited the title, but they forgot to change the UrL which had the original title in it.
- Scoundreller 7y agoOh god yes. I hate seeing that an article was « updated ». Well what the heck changed since I read it yesterday?!?!? And this is a well-regarded national newspaper in Canada.
- dang 7y agoNews outlets do that all the time. NYT in particular. Often they don't change the URLs, and I've always assumed that's for technical reasons—either there's a system that's treats URLs as immutable, or it's copied through multiple systems that the people who change the title can't edit, or some such thing.
