CBS12/WPEC reporter JONATHAN Beaton is our local beat reporter

On January 2nd, in the spirit of the New Year, was ebullient with hope that CBS12/WPEC was ushering in a responsible journalistic standard after this report by Lauren Hills I posted on my blog:
     On New Years Eve, Lauren Hills did a story from the American Legion on Dixie Highway here in Lake Worth. It was a good story and she interviewed some local veterans who shared their wishes and concerns on the war in Afghanistan.
     The good people of Lake Worth look forward to many such stories from Channel 12 in 2015.
Earlier in that blog post made this reference to "Matthew Beaton's take on the panhandling issue". The CBS12/WPEC reporter is not Matthew Beaton, it is Jonathan Beaton. I've gone back to the blog post and made the correction.

That said, and on the subject of names, was reminded of Jonathan Beaton's story on February 10th. Three times in the text of the story Mr. Beaton misspells Commissioner Andy Amoroso's as "Amaroso". That was pointed out here. After checking again today, it's still wrong.
