PSU editor quits after erroneous Paterno report

[Owlet]

2. Get it first. get it wrong

Hopefully this kid learned a lesson that still escapes most media.

Edwards did not explain in his letter how the error occurred but hinted that the pressure to get the story first may have been a factor.

"In this day and age, getting it first often conflicts with getting it right, but our intention was never to fall into that chasm," the letter said. "All I can do now is promise that in the future, we will exercise caution, restraint, and humility."
