The information we received was correct but we erred in reporting it. We apologize for the mistake and corrected it as soon as we realized our error.

Hey Breakingnews99, journalism has always been about reporters finding sources to help tell stories. Increasingly, news organizations are asking the community to be sources because collectively the community knows a lot more about a topic than any news organization. Here are some examples of how it's used: CNN iReport, Ushahidi, ProPublica, The Guardian's report on MP expenses.

You're right, born2hang. That was an odd headline and it has been changed. The back story: When the coroner's office released the victim's name, his address was listed in Shaker Heights. We went to that address and learned that his family had moved out of Shaker. But we still didn't have his current address. We later learned from police that he lived in Warrensville. Then court officials updated that and said he lived in Highland Hills.
