San Antonio in Connecticut?

Can someone please explain to me how this happens?

When you go to http://www.mysanantonio.com/ , supposedly the home website of the San Antonio Express-News, you actually get the website for the Danbury (Conn.) News Times.

Hearst owns both, but that is a major gaffe.

 

Your last sentence is your answer. Centralized web server, someone hits a wrong key, and embarrassing stuff happens.

 

Well, it's right now. The someone who hit the wrong key must be a member at SJ

 

Logistically, would be difficult to move San Antonio to Connecticut, even if there were big tax breaks. Smart just to fix on the server end.

 

21 works for Hearst now?

 

Well it's on the same continent.

 

Here's the site on Google Chrome at 2:05 a.m. CT:



Click for the full view. It's a coding nightmare. It's fine on Firefox. My last paper did a website redesign that had glitches in Google Chrome, and I was apparently the only one to notice (before it went live, luckily). Google Chrome is awesome, but I suppose I now understand why people would avoid it: They love their newspaper websites.

 

No that was doodah.

 

Speaking of sharing resources, Sunday's Sun Sentinel had 3 bylines from LAT's Sam Farmer, two Chicago Tribune stories and several from Orlando (using name/Staff Writer byline). I hadn't seen the paper in a year, so it was jarring.

 

Happened to me yesterday.

Went to the Albanu Times-Union (also Hearst) and got Danbury.

 

Easier to just move it to Tahoe, since it's only 15 minutes away ...

 

This type of mistake can really set people off.
