Pearls journalists

The following mistakes were made, though on different days, but perfect for the role of April Fools rozygryshey


In fact, the catch here is that the article was incorrectly translated from English, where the verb «to fire» is translated not only as "shoot" but also as "dismissed." In fact, the head of the company dismissed three employees, not shot



Another fun journalistic gem associated with the reshuffle in the Government of Russia last fall. The newspaper's editor to Lenta.Ru in a hurry, in time to print the news of the appointment of a new prime minister. I hurry so that I forgot the name of the person about whom wrote the note. If someone in the tank: the new prime minister named (and name at the time of writing news) Viktor Zubkov. In order not to waste time trying to remember the name, the editor temporarily put "Pipiskin." This is normal, when in draft article puts marks, and the author writes an article on, without wasting time. Later, when the final check all discrepancies are corrected. But in this case the editor forgot to do this and sent a draft to the publication. With Pipiskinym. So there was a message on the appointment of the new Prime Minister of Russia with such a juicy name to orbit the entire Runet. Particularly acute this situation makes the fact that the news after the publication of a gun on the news feeds duplicate other publications (via RSS), and despite the fact that the editor rather quickly caught himself, do anything you can not already. Unlucky editor was fired, but it inadvertently created a character lives his life.

In the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" 20 years ago there was an episode reminiscent of a typo on the site Lenta.ru, according to "Novaya Gazeta". "And that's what happened. At that time was a popular anecdote, on the kolkhoz discussed what to do with plywood left over from the construction of the barn. They sit for eight hours. While the keeper Ivan Ilyich is not proposed to build from the "entoy fanery eroplan not" move out "otsedova to such a mother & quot ;. When the editorial meeting strongly tightened, someone will ask, "But if we do not build eroplan?".
So, I come to the editors note Tass that was put into operation a new factory, which will produce 20 thousand sq. Meters of plywood a day. The duty of the department long spit it in his hands, and then having nothing to do was her build upon. Like, this amount will be enough plywood to ensure that thousands of people were able to build a "eroplany and" ... Only here, instead of the well-known correspondent for the mother decided to send all of Paris.
Well, I wrote and wrote, but the hand of duty automatically dropped a note in a folder "in the room!" And came a courier took it to the attendant, that of pneumomail pulnul to the printer, typesetter typed a note on the courier took the layout, layout zaverstal the strip. The case ended with the censor on duty ran to the lead editor (and it was our friend Bob) with a strange question: "What do you have coming out in the newspaper?". That, of course, has not yet acquired the habit of reading layout and quietly engaged in a cold dinner. But after shouting duty censor wiped his glasses and stared into the referenced note. And went cold at the thought that could appear in the newspaper article, "encourages people to leave the USSR."
After the incident with plywood, 1987 edition of shaking a few days editing the band began to take in only printing (!), And a correspondent for no plywood flew to an unknown destination. From this was born the story phrase - flying as plywood over Paris.

And in the end a bit of curious headlines and clippings of the articles actually occurred:
