Student editor still stunned by paper’s “Big Ass Spanish Boat” error

Seattle Times
The Daily Evergreen reporter who wrote of Filipinos landing on the shore of Morro Bay, California on “The Big Ass Spanish Boat ” says she thought a Web site’s translation was suspicious, but she went with it because the site appeared legit. “It was a very, very careless mistake,” says rookie reporter Kim Na, 18. Evergreen editor T.J. Conrads tells Robert Marshall Wells: “I’m still stunned. It was an entire breakdown. I didn’t think anything like that would ever get in the paper. We need to do a lot more proofing.” Earlier links:
