American newspaper
Valley News has set a new media standard for spelling mistakes, somehow managing to misspell its own name on its front page masthead.
The New Hampshire paper called itself the “Valley Newss” on Monday in a remarkable blunder, with the editor understandably sheepish the next day.
“Readers may have noticed that the Valley News misspelled its own name on yesterday’s front page,” an “Editor’s Note” read in the next day’s edition.
“Given that we routinely call on other institutions to hold themselves accountable for the mistakes, let us say for the record: We sure feel silly.”
