We are lucky to have Tom from the "news" perspective and Fred from the "legal" perspective to fill us in. Both of their posts really make so much sense, how could you argue?
I was tidying up my daughter's bedroom today, in anticipation of the ROAR 1.5 reunion of the solo ladies, and found a book in there "AP Guide to News Writing". Tell me, Tom, do you think I will get that advice in this book? There is LEADS: The Agony of Square One, and then there is PITFALLS: Attributive Verbs and Loaded Words!
I think I will go to bed tonight with this book!
Fred, as usual you make perfect sense. As you know, you have to read every little FACT, but then you are at the mercy of an EEOC office that may see things from their own perspective. I admittedly have an "employer" mindset, having been one, but never a subject of litigation. It is not like a criminal case, when the burden of proof is a lot more difficult. So much easier to condemn the employer in these cases.
