Last fall's Mists/Cynagua War on ABC News

[klwilliams]

A very nice spot on the Mists/Cynagua War from Brion and Ysabella's reign:

I noticed a second or two of psychic_frog in there, along with ermine_rat and many other LJ denizens.

That one is better done than many media stories that talk about us.

I'm always astonished how our area newspapers (which usually send a novice reporter whenever we have a good-sized public demo) can manage so consistently to get factual information wrong in stories about the SCA.

We spell our mundane names out for them, which nevertheless get spelled wrong, or mismatch first names and last names, or mix up our mundane and SCA names. Some of us have carefully stated what we do for a living and watched the reporter write it down, only to have it botched in the printed article.

Photos are taken. We carefully spell out the SCA and mundane names of the people photographed -- "the guy in the helmet with the plume of horsehair on top is Bill Jones...his SCA name is..., and the guy without the plume on his helmet is..." and the caption will run under the photo with Bill Jones fighting against [his own SCA name].

that was actually very well done.

Now, did anyone happen to tape it when it was on the TV?

I am amused by this typo:

"amiable battle, mid-evil style"

Is there a difference in evil if it's high, medium, or low?
