Article: There Usually Is Something Correct In A Newspaper Article

Years back, there was a fire at a house on my sister's street.

My mother was watching my nephew and they reported the fire to the fire department.

A reporter came and wrote a story.

I like to joke about newspaper stories that there usually is something correct in the story.

The story was wrong about which house the fire was in and about who reported the fire, but there was a fire and it was on that street.

Last week, Josh and Nick sent me corrections to my newsletter.

There is usually something correct in the newsletter. There is dancing somewhere in Gainesville. As to where, when and other details, confirm before going.
