Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 307514" data-attributes="member: 27">A lot of TV journalists get jobs in areas far away from where they grew up.  After graduation they will move to wherever they can get a job.  Newcomers to an area might not know how local landmarks (streets, parks, etc.) are pronounced until someone corrects them.  And sometimes no one thinks to spell it out phonetically on the TelePrompter the reporter is reading.Just yesterday I heard a young reporter refer to a street in a news report as "Glaw-ches-ter" rather than the proper "Glaw-ster" (Gloucester), but I've heard that name butchered so many times that I overlook it.</blockquote>
