What happens when editors at The Palm Beach Post let down their very own reporters

Woman's body "found near Lake Worth"? Not even close. The murder scene was west of Greenacres and the Turnpike.
Here is an excerpt from the article by The Palm Beach Post reporter Hannah Winston:

     Judge Krista Marx ordered 30-year-old Dernard Hall to be held without bail on first-degree murder charges nor have contact with anyone in Miller’s family. Hall, of Opa-Locka, was arrested on a felony warrant, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
     On May 29, a woman’s body was found near Blanchette Trail, west of Florida’s Turnpike and north of Lake Worth Road, by a passerby at about 8 a.m., PBSO said.

This is the false headline that appears in today's (6/14) print edition:

Lake Worth body leads to man's murder charge

"Lake Worth body"? The reporter obviously has no clue what the municipal borders of Lake Worth are, but the editor's know:
Once again, a lesson for the media on the municipal borders of the City of Lake Worth.
