The wonderful Buenos Aires Herald

Fátima dies after suffering in hospital for critical burnt body condition

It goes without saying that this is a tragic story, however, my reason for posting has to do with the crap headline. Where do they get their staff from?

It's not just the headline. The whole article is poorly written...

Google Translate.

What I think is even better is that they don't have dates on any of their articles on the web site. Have you ever seen a news site without dates?

Try searching for something and then try to determine when it was published and if it was still valid or superseded by another article.

A quick read and some bog roll for the road for the backpackers.

The level of English in that paper is consistently atrocious; I actively tell my English students to never, ever read it. What I don't understand is why, considering the number of fluent, literate English speakers (both native and non-native) in BA, the Herald hires staff that don't seem to know the language very well.

You now how badly they pay their staff and that is why their english is of primary school standard. They are just surviving

hahaha. The article is utter tripe. The physical copy is so American as well.

Does anybody on here write for the newspaper or now anybody who does? I´m thinking of possibly getting involved. Does anybody know the best way to contact them with previous stuff I have written?
