International broadcaster CNN has been forced to edit a story on their website on how a Caucasian woman from London discovered whales in Kenya. “A headline in an earlier version of this story overstated Jane Spilsbury’s role in finding whales in Kenya. She said: “We were amazed because no one knew there were dolphins out there, not even the Kenya Wildlife Service”. Spilsbury says she learned about humpback whales in a similar casual way. “It was as simple as talking to a fisherman at the bar and asking if he’d seen any humpback whales and he said ‘sure, we’ve seen them for 30 years’,” she says.
