    Can't they change the name of Louisiana Technical College to something else, like Louisiana Vocational College?
    Go Tech!

    Re: Strange headline

    Yeah, I saw this headline on CNN:
    Police: 3 shot dead on Louisiana Tech campus

    And started freaking out. Turns out it's Lousiana Technical College in BR.

    Trying to find an email address for CNN editors as we speak. Because this isnt good publicity for LaTech if people dont know the difference.

    Yeah, if you go to CNN.com they have a similar headline on the front page.

    If there was previously a doubt that we have a branding/marketing problem...

    I saw that and called my mother in law in Ruston to ask. She hadn't heard of anything so I assume after reading the article, CNN just didn't get it right.

    If you go to the very very very bottom of the websiteo n CNN, there's a "Contact Us" link. Click on CNN and look for "Editorial mistakes".

    I submitted feedback telling them they needed to edit the headline to say Louisiana Technical College, and not Louisiana Tech, because they are two completely different schools.

    Looks like whatever you told them worked.

    They still need to change the headline on the front page.

    I did the same thing, wanted to vomit... Not until they mentioned BR, did I start to relax a little.
