Editor’s Note
Back in the old days — that’s less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers — editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an “editor’s note.” Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor’s note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today’s blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor’s Note.

The brackets are wrong — AGAIN

No, I do not know what happened. Yes, I will. And, yes, I will share. But, for now, know this: For the second day in a row, we screwed up the NCAA brackets.

It was bad enough that we published the wrong ones on Monday. Trust me when I tell you that it was not a nice day for several newsroom staffers. We don’t set out to make mistakes, but they can and do happen. We have to fix them and move on. That’s what we did. Or so we thought.

This morning when they were wrong AGAIN, all bets are off. I am embarrassed, and I apologize for our failure to get it right. We’ll have the corrected brackets online shortly.
