I would not expect either paper to make any changes from what they received from the state, which would, after all, be the official data. I mean, what would there be to change? They should print the data verbatim, assuming they get the same list.
So what we see in the Aug 13th Advertiser and Aug 14th Star-Bulletin is what you’d expect to see all the time? The same list published a day or two apart from each other?
Is there anything you can think of that would cause a paper to split the lists in half and print part of the list one day and then the other part some time later - like a couple days later, or a couple weeks later?
Can you think of any reason that a particular Honolulu birth would be included in one paper but not the other?
