      As a social media enthusiast, this point is SO SO SO important! If your mistake was on Facebook, you need to address it there first. That's where most of your audience who SAW this mistake is.

      The tags help with finding their posts on various rules, editing mistakes and news in journalism. I personally think that they did a good job tagging their most popular and helpful subjects.

      They also have their posts organized into categories, which makes it a little easier to find a post if you're looking for a broader topic than one of the tags may cover.

    Ok, this seems obvious. Journalists are inherently bad at math, but we all should be able to calculate a person's age. And to be clear, I am capable of doing that math. But let's say you're looking at court or police documents and it only lists a person's date of birth. Did this person just have a birthday? Or is it still months away? I like to use this age calculator to double check that I have the age right. This is something that's incredibly easy to get wrong. It's also an incredibly stupid mistake. You're probably the only one that is going to double check this person's age. Get it right.
