Editing The London Trumpet (section)

==Notable mistakes==
''The Daily Telegraph'' has erroneously published at least four [[List of premature obituaries|premature obituaries]]:

*Cockie Hoogterp, the second wife of [[Bror von Blixen-Finecke|Baron Blixen]], in 1938 after the Baron's third wife died in an auto accident. Mrs. Hoogterp sent all her bills back marked "Deceased" and survived her premature obituary by over 50 years.[http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_v39/ai_5091234] 
*[[Dave Swarbrick]] in 1999, prompting much embarrassing publicity for the newspaper, and Swarbrick's remark "It's not the first time I have died in Coventry."
*[[Dorothy Fay|Dorothy Southworth Ritter]], the widow of [[Tex Ritter]] and mother of [[John Ritter]], in [[August]] [[2001]]. She eventually died in 2003, two months after her son's death.[http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-06-21-obit_x.htm]
*Ballet dancer [[Katharine Sergava]] in 2003, which also caused ''[[The New York Times]]'' to print an erroneous obituary based on ''The Telegraph'''s.

The Telegraph is nonetheless noted for the humour and quality of writing of many of its obituaries.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

On Wednesday [[24 February]], [[1988]], ''the Daily Telegraph'' was printed with the wrong date: Thursday [[25 February]] was printed by mistake. This caused complaints from confused readers, but also inspired the first [[front page]] [[cartoon]] by [[Matt Pritchett|Matt]], who now has a cartoon on the front page of the Telegraph almost every day. The cartoon had the caption: "I hope I have a better Thursday than I did yesterday".

On Saturday [[26 August]], [[2006]], [http://www.mediabistro.com/mbtoolbox/writing_online/5_signs_your_blog_post_is_going_horribly_wrong_42442.asp content] from Claire Zulkey of MediaBistro Toolbox appeared on [http://cc.msnscache.com/cache.aspx?q=3986818497466&lang=en-US&mkt=en-US&FORM=CVRE Melissa Whitworth's blog] (MSN cache, original pulled off the site), leading to [http://www.copyblogger.com/journalistic-superiority-at-work/ accusations of plagiarism]. Whitworth later claimed that it had been published in error after she had [http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/society/melissawhitworth/aug06/misunderstanding.htm forwarded the piece] to her editor.

The '''''Daily Planet''''' is a [[fictional]] [[broadsheet]] [[newspaper]] that appears in [[Superman]] stories published by [[DC Comics]]. The ''Daily Planet'' is based in [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] and employs [[Clark Kent]], [[Lois Lane]], and [[Jimmy Olsen]]; its chief editor is [[Perry White]]. Within the Superman [[comics]], the ''Daily Planet'' is depicted as a famous nationally published newspaper of the same caliber as the ''[[New York Times]]''.

In the comics, the newspaper is located in the heart of Metropolis, at the corner of Fifth Street and Concord Lane. The ''Planet'' began publication in 1775; [[George Washington]] wrote a guest editorial for the first daily edition. The ''Daily Planet'' building's most distinguishing and famous feature is the enormous [[globe]] that sits on top of the building.
