MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
GREENWICH TIME REPORTING:
There Is Something Fishy Going On With Web Editor Jonathan Lucas At The Greenwich Time......
Lucas Is Missing Time At The Greenwich Time
A Greenwich Roundup Reader points out that there appears to be some discrepancies with the posting times at the Greenwich Time, Stamford Advocate and Connecticut Post. The reader points out that the exact same story appears at the Stamford Advocate and the Connecticut Post.
All three articles are written by Debra Friedman but the Stamford Advocate and Connecticut Post articles indicate that they were updated while the Greenwich Time is once again having trouble keeping time.
The update for the Greenwich Time has been removed or was never ever posted as it should have been. This is clearly a violation of Hearst Newspaper and basic journalistic standards......
