Whoa, if we published a false report, our international business column's trust would have collapsed! Grounded in the latest wire records, I will correct the figures and swap for the right exchange rates! (N3 lesson 148)
That was close... If we'd simply confirmed the wire's first report and run it, our station would have made the same false report. The desk's caution, not being swayed by the other stations and carefully confirming with the official agency that things had calmed down, protected our station's credibility. (N2 lesson 96)
Practice

S-sorry...! In my rush for a scoop, I was about to forget consideration for their dignity. (N2 lesson 19)
