Made while writing a book on Vice media. My attempt to quantify low editorial standards in 'new media'.

The methodology was rather crude. I compared Google search results for the word "the site:example.com" and compared it with "update site:example.com" and "correction site:example.com". Adding a few modifiers to remove 'corrections officers' etc.
