In this story the Norwegian journalist writes: "Det er amerikanske IT-konsulenter....Nye undersøkelser gjort ved universitetet i Ontario viser at amerikanske IT-konsulenter er svært stressede." This study is a Canadian study done at the University of Western Ontario in Ontario, Canada. The Norwegian journalist has assumed or guessed the study is American, and writes that it is an American IT consultant. Not only is the wrong nationality of the study listed in the story, the name of the university (or at least a mention of the country it is from) - Canada - is not even mentioned. How many Norwegian readers will recognise where Ontario is? Are Norwegian readers that familiar where the province of Ontario is that they will automatically know it is in Canada? How does it happen that a Canadian study and story becomes American in the Norwegian press? After informing the Norwegian journalist, the story was corrected the next day.
