<title>Botched Bylines Give Human Events a Blemish</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-75911" title="technical" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2012/06/technical-300x222.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="222" />Relaunching a website often comes with growing pains. We recently reported that <em>Human Events</em> had <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/human-events-needs-to-work-out-kinks_b75274">some kinks to work out</a> as it reintroduced its website. Then, it was some coding issues. Today, it&#8217;s bylines.</p>
<p>During the switch from Site Manager to WordPress as the website&#8217;s administrative system, several stories screwed up who wrote what. For instance, former contributor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Steven-Robinson-profile.html">Steven Robinson</a></strong>&#8216;s name, which appeared as a double byline on a few stories, was deleted from the site. Articles originally bearing his name appeared are now authored by &#8220;Main Admin&#8221; or by <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Audrey-Hudson-profile.html">Audrey Hudson</a></strong>, the publication&#8217;s congressional correspondent. Robinson recently left Eagle Publishing, which owns <em>Human Events</em>. He now works on the website for the Paul Revere Project, which aims to coordinate messaging among conservative groups in D.C. and nationwide.</p>
<p>As recently as this morning <a href="http://www.humanevents.com/2012/03/13/highway-bill-amendment-defeated-that-would-have-sent-billions-to-soros-pickens-douglas-companies/">a story co-written</a> by Robinson was changed to only show Hudson&#8217;s name. Three days ago, Robinson asked his old employers about it and was told about internal system issues. His byline was not restored until today after FishbowlDC&#8217;s inquiry.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Joe-Guerriero-profile.html">Joe Guerriero</a></strong>, VP and Group Publisher of Eagle Publishing, told FBDC by email that the mix up had to do with &#8220;transferring a massive number of files to a new system&#8221; and the order in which they were sent.</p>
<p>Though Robinson said he thought there might be something more nefarious at hand, <em>Human Events</em>&#8216; Editor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Cathy-Taylor-profile.html">Cathy Taylor</a></strong> said the issue also happened with at least one other author out of the 200 the publication had in its system. &#8220;Steve Robinson’s byline was confused with another periodic author’s  byline, Ron Robinson. Also, when Steve double-bylined with Audrey  Hudson, his name apparently was dropped off,&#8221; Taylor said. &#8220;The good news is that all data  transferred.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bad news, however, is that Robinson (the whistle blower) won&#8217;t be writing for <em>Human Events</em> anytime soon.</p>
