This morning I came into work and opened up this email:
"Jeremy, please get you facts correct about the Council meeting this evening. The Balloon Museum is NOT the Balloon Fiesta Museum. We have NO affiliation with the Fiesta. We are a City owned museum. And please check the amendments. The figures you gave are incorrect. Thank you"
I didn't cover the story. In fact, I've been so involved with another story I'm working on, I'm not even sure what the story is about. I've been out of newsroom all day, and will be again today.
Often viewers will confuse me with other reporters and vice-versa. It's really no big deal, but sometimes there are dangers in confusion.
The confused person who wrote this email could complain to other people she works with at the museum, by dropping my name and saying I reported incorrect information. That hurts my credibility, and it's not good.
I called the sender of the email, and thankfully I got a hold of her and explained she got the wrong guy.
No harm, no foul....at least I hope.

ahhhh, the joys of attaching your name for all the world to see. *lol* I'm just waiting for the day when someone accuses me of copyright infringement.
