Media needs to click the right button.

 


Misleading information was conveyed to WBOC webpage viewers who were checking Wednesday evening for the status of public-school operations for Thursday and saw that Worcester, Accomack, Somerset, and Wicomico County schools were designated for "virtual learning" days.  The problem was, that was the status for Wednesday not Thursday but their page did not indicate to when the announcements applied. 

When the Pocomoke Public Eye could not verify the Thursday status on the county schools Facebook pages we took down the WBOC link.

It's essential to designate to which days announcements apply .. in a column heading or with the announcements.  Maybe WBOC will do so in the future (??).
