Can Do Sports In Both Land And Water

As the news industry is an ever-evolving beast with a voracious appetite for timely information, it can become challenging for newsrooms to adhere to strict deadlines. Such pressure is often felt by writers who are expected to publish their work without the luxury of making any amendments.

This mistake made by the East Oregonian in 2015, featuring an incorrect title regarding former MLB pitcher Pat Venditte, speaks to this point. The athlete, who is known for his special ability to pitch with both hands, was inaccurately referred to as “amphibious” instead of “ambidextrous.” Such a small oversight can be indicative of the intense strain deadlines can have on journalists.
