Examples of news reporting gone wrong
Source: https://listverse.com/2015/02/17/10-glaring-examples-of-news-reporting-gone-wrong/
Main difference with fake news: unintentionally misinforming 

Slide 35 - Slide

1.) United Airlines
In September 2008, a reporter for Miami-based Income Securities Advisors found a 2002 article about a financially moribund United Airlines filing for bankruptcy. However, the article itself was undated. As a result, the Google web crawler assigned it the date of the search, giving the impression that a half-dozen-year-old crisis was breaking news. The reporter then relayed the information to Bloomberg, a premier name in finance news, and as soon as the story went up, United Airlines’s stock price nosedived by 75 percent. Traders jettisoned 15 million shares, as the stunned company did its best to disabuse Bloomberg of the disastrous misconception.

2. A Poorly Translated Article Devalued The US Dollar

Slide 37 - Slide

Guan Xiangdong, a tourism reporter for the China News Service, was tasked with filling in for her finance reporters that were on vacation in May 2005. Attempting to provide various perspectives on how an appreciation of China’s currency, the Renminbi, would affect the local economy, she pulled bits of from various media outlets to form her own collage of facts and opinions.
With lightning-quick reactivity, investors began dumping US dollars and buying everything from Renminbi to rupees in an avalanche of misinformed fervor. Within minutes, $2 billion had exchanged hands.

3.) Blindly Reporting A False Accusation Of Child Endangerment

Slide 39 - Slide

Few crimes rival terrorism in emotional impact and reprehensibility, but wanton child neglect has a way of tapping into a public’s deepest wells of disdain. That’s why when news station KHOU accused Araceli Cisneros of leaving her two defenseless children to swelter in a car on a day measuring in at 32 degrees Celsius (90 °F) while she went to get a haircut, the public was irate. 
The stage for that rage was amplified when controversial show host Nancy Grace branded Cisneros unfit to raise a child, airing heartbreaking cell phone footage of people breaking the glass of the car door to rescue the trapped kids. That would all seem warranted were it not for the complicating detail that the story was an utter crock.
(1/2)

Slide 40 - Slide

Cisneros was the victim of a dishonest witness looking to create a huge story at an innocent person’s expense. The mother didn’t abandon her offspring to bake like buns in an automotive oven to tend to cosmetic concerns. She’d actually accidentally locked her keys in the car and desperately begged for help. 
The people filmed rescuing her kids had arrived to the scene in response to Cisneros’s please for assistance. The news station would have discovered this reality had it not simply relayed the story without checking it for accuracy.
