1 year ago, one of the worst plane crashes in recent years happened here in Lexington. 49 people died when flight 5191 went down due a runway mix-up.
This morning, WTVQ decided to send out last year’s RSS feed headline and story again resulting in the image you see below. Did we have another crash?
It turns out the web page is showing a “one year later” discussion, but the feed itself was obviously forgotten.
Look closely at this news story’s date.
People using content management systems need to educate all users of what will go out not only on the browser, but on the RSS feed.
