On Saturday evening, the Youth News went wrong with reporting on the earthquake in Wirdum. In the broadcast, the Groningen village was located in Friesland.
Now Friesland also has a village called Wirdum. That is under the smoke of Leeuwarden.
The Youth News is not the first medium to confuse Groningen and Friesland.
Last week de Volkskrant blundered with a big infographic on nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands. The text ‘Groningen’ was accidentally pasted on Friesland and vice versa . There was a lot of fuss about that. A day later, de Volkskrant came out with a correction.
