WaPo: Erroneous report of Paterno’s death was amplified by social media
"In apologizing for posting the erroneous news, CBSSports.com Managing Editor Mark Swanson on Sunday wrote on his site that the mistake “was the result of a failure to verify the original report. CBSSports.com holds itself to high journalistic standards, and in this circumstance tonight, we fell well short of those expectations.” Swanson failed to mention that the CBS site did not credit Onward State when it first posted the news, but it did blame them when the story turned out to be wrong."
