News of the wierd: Business journalism edition

Can you imagine if this happened in the United States?

A business reporter for the state-run newspaper The Herald in Zimbabwe has been suspended from his job arriving late for the opening of Tobacco Action Floors last week, which resulted in the paper failing to carry speeches by Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono and Agriculture Minister Joseph Made.

Sources at the paper say that the reporter “is as good as fired.”

Details are available on newzimbabwe.com here.
