I think one's still being spun by the perps as we write, in order to counter increasing Internet speculation on this case
most of which I believe to be completely unfounded. I wasn't a reader of the Newtown Bee before today so I can't vouch for their track record. As far as 5 W's journalism goes we can't rule out that the correspondent wasn't
told they were speaking to the former principal, whether or not she had been alive at the time of writing. In fact that's exactly what The Bee's retraction spells out
here. They don't go on to speculate whom the woman might have been, so you may have an indirect point about their journalistic ambitions.
I don't read People magazine and absent any evidence to the contrary I don't accuse them of participating in a cruel hoax. The anomaly remains to me an anomaly because of the way the retraction is worded.

The retraction explains why they might have been under that impression. Remember any initial reports about Adam Lanza's mother being a teacher at the school when that quickly became doubted, as she didn't show up in a list of staff posted on the school's website? Who fed that information to the MSM, or where might they have found that tidbit?

A British tabloid paper 'revealing' to the world that Adam Lanza's body
will be disposed of in secret scooping all the U.S. overnight. Was an anonymous burial granted to any other "lone nut" killers in modern American history, even the worst of the worst? Is this now a requirement in the Internet age of infamy, to add speculative fuel to fire?
The reference to the Harris/Klebold familes is cryptic in that we're told they
will never reveal the location, not that they were never involved in the rites.
Do the Lanza's fear some kind of black magick ritual taking place with the decomposing body of their kindred more than the just shadowy strawman
hate groups created just for us to imagine targeting his presently non-existent grave somehow?
