Morning Sentinel
Someone had to see
lottery photo flaw
Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel Sunday, March 11, 2007

Definition of editor -- person who edits. Definition of edit -- have charge of and decide what should be printed.

Is there anyone there doing this job? On the front page of Feb. 27 Morning Sentinel is a picture of a lottery winner holding up his winning ticket and form. What has he won? Because of the lack of editing he has won a lifetime of grief. Within seconds of glancing at this picture, I noticed the form in the picture includes the man's name, address, telephone number, date of birth and even his Social Security number.

Has anyone there heard of the privacy act? He must have been so excited from winning he did not think of it himself, but someone, the photographer, the story writer, someone in editing, print press operator, someone should have caught this mistake.

Now instead of enjoying his winnings, he will wish it never happened.
