Hey FishbowlDC: Check Your Obits

FishbowlDC, always a good source for media-related events and news, has slightly overbilled an event that takes place tomorrow. It's a discussion on "media business models and the role of philanthropy" and it's hosted by the Washington Monthly and the New America Foundation.
Take a look at the screen grab above: Participating in one of the event's panels is a great roster of thinkers, including the Atlantic's James Bennet and the Monthly's Paul Glastris. Yet whatever give-and-take those fellows have with Joan Shorenstein would have to be other-worldly in nature, because Shorenstein died in 1985 of cancer.
Matt Dornic, who posted the item for FBDC, writes, "Next time, I’ll make certain to call each person and verify that they are alive before pushing that notorious publish button." He has corrected the mistake.

Fishbowl: Pick Up the Phone!
On April 22, FishbowlDC broke a pretty sweet story on Metro Weekly. Citing "sources," FishbowlDC's Christine Delargy wrote that the publication would cease printing within three weeks and would move to an online-only approach.
One thing Delargy left out of her reporting: A call to Metro Weekly's management.
What?
