My Comments
The TVC News YouTube channel has done it again! They have shelled the
internet with another blast from their arsenal of grammatical blunders. It is
like an endless volley of shots that just would not cease despite the repeated
corrections. This is a news network aiming to communicate information to a global
audience. Yet, these errors remind us of how minor grammatical flaws can
contaminate the quality of communication.
In journalism and the media, accuracy is paramount. Headlines and titles
are the attention-grabbers readers first notice. As such, grammatical errors
can diminish the credibility of the content with which the viewer or reader is
about to engage. Grammatical errors demonstrate the need for careful editing
and attention to detail, especially in high-visibility contexts.
The correct form of the title should be:
“Morayo and the Ladies React as NNPCL Pushes Fuel Price to 1,030 per
Litre in Abuja, N998 in Lagos”
