(Conversation #7 - Title: Editor and Writer) ( [rn=BRIAN] {40s}: a newspaper editor [rn=STEVE] {20s}: a young writer ) [rn=BRIAN] Hey, Steve. Gotta minute? [rn=STEVE] Oh, hey Brian. What’s up? [rn=BRIAN] We’ve got some words from our readers over social media. [rn=STEVE] Really? [rn=BRIAN] Yes, the article you posted last night. Seems like some readers felt, like, hey, wait a minute? [rn=STEVE] You mean, that story of a kid who got the wrong deposit of 46 million Yen? [rn=BRIAN] Exactly. Some say that the article lacked the point of view of the city officials. [rn=STEVE] City officials? [rn=BRIAN] Right. Some readers consider that incident wasn’t the kid’s fault. [rn=STEVE] Yeah, I believe those city official employees done sloppy jobs. I mean, how can they mistakenly deposit 46 million? [rn=BRIAN] Which source did you cite? [rn=STEVE] Oh, from Nikkei and Japan Times. Both have decent English pages. [rn=BRIAN] Did you also check the original Japanese articles? [rn=STEVE] Why? You mad at me? [rn=BRIAN] No, Steve. It’s just a fact-checking issue. There might be a chance that the original Japanese articles featured more. [rn=STEVE] Why do you think that? [rn=BRIAN] Here. Take a look at my notes. A couple of user comments pointed out this, this, and that. [rn=STEVE] Really? Let me see. Oh, shit. Didn’t know those city official employees admitted their fallacy. [rn=BRIAN] You have your notes with you? Bring it here, and let’s go over this incident again. [rn=STEVE] Sure. Just give me a minute. Gotta get back to my office and bring my laptop here. [rn=BRIAN] Oh, you don’t take handwritten notes? [rn=STEVE] I can type fast with both hands, so I mainly use text files instead of physical writing on notepads. [rn=BRIAN] As long as we can verify sources, doesn’t matter how you record. [rn=STEVE] Well, tonight’s gonna be over-time.
