British tabloid the Daily Mail faced criticism over following a resident in Detroit after incorrectly taking her for White Stripes drummer Meg White. The newspaper tracked and took photos of someone else entirely during its effort to track down the press-shy performer. Various news organisations covered the details of the embarrassing mix-up. The Guardian, Consequence of Sound, The New European and VICE each documented the misstep. VICE labelled the situation a massive blunder in their search for the 2000s-era star. The tabloid aimed to shed light on the musician's quiet existence but ultimately followed a completely unrelated Detroit resident.
