Do you think the title of your investigation was journalistically sound, given its potential to mislead?

Edit: I'd like to note that the 13 hour old account replying to me is a clearly a shill for the Red Cross. I, however, am not. The investigative work itself is great, but I am concerned with the title. Would be nice to get a response for a genuine question.

As the current editorial page editor (of a slightly less prestigious paper) up the street from you, I often find that the standard staff editorial can be limiting.

It has to follow a specific style, be within a hundred words or so of the wordcount (for tradition and standards, if not for readers), and ends up spending too much time trying to educate the reader or too much time opining about the subject.

How do you negotiate the difficulties of addressing issues through staff editorials? Have you considered going more "outside the box" with series like "High Time"? If so, how? If not, why not?

Thanks for stopping by!
