Senior Center groundbreaking gaffe

Rendering of Dornoch's Rahway project,
similar to Plainfield's Senior Center plans

A brief item in today's Courier on the groundbreaking scheduled for today OMITS mention of the time.

If you were interested in attending, what would you do?

While I do not know what was in the advisory the Robinson-Briggs' communications staff got to the Courier, I do know that newspaper staffers are well-schooled in that most basic of journalistic laws: get the 5Ws, including WHEN. Who dropped the ball?

Here is the complete item--

Ground to be broken for new senior center

Ground will be broken today at 342-406 Front St. for a new building that will house a new senior citizens center and a meeting place for veterans.

The building also will have a rooftop garden and house residential market-rate two-bedroom condominium units.

When completed, the project is expected to generate an additional $400,000 in real estate tax revenue for the city.

The building's estimated completion date is early next year.

Numerous city officials are expected to attend the event, and the public is invited.

Time of the groundbreaking is 11 AM.

Seeya there.
