This is somewhat unrelated to the actual story, but I hate when online media updates a story with edits, leaving the prior data struck-out (to show it's been changed).
Our media world moves at a much faster pace than it used to, and we publish on dynamic media moreso than dead-tree. This often leads to story research not always being as in-depth as it used to, and that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
If a writer updates or tweaks stats or typos in a story due to the typical reader-submitted proofreading, I'd rather they just call it out at the end of the story in 1 place. The in-line edits are distracting and add nothing to the actual piece. For very minor spelling/grammatical changes I don't think it needs to be called out at all. Change your 'teh' to 'the' and be done with it.
