Other dub names: Extra! Extra! (4Kids)

A printing press is in full swing in Carlin's house. Krash demands to stop the machine. He doesn't like the headline that Carlin wrote. According to Krash, the newspaper headlines should scream. A new version of the newspaper was printed, and Krash and Chiko distributed it to friends.

There is nothing to write about next day, but suddenly Krash sees Rosa falling from a swing. A few minutes later, Krash and Chiko deliver a new issue of the newspaper, which tells about the terrible fall of the Rosa. After reading the newspaper, all the readers rush to Rosa's house. When she's made aware of the news, Rosa goes to the editorial office and demands to be told to write that everything is fine with her. Krash fulfills her request, but in the meantime, he writes that Barry was attacked by a giant caterpillar. Now everyone is running to save Barry. Krash is making the next issue about the mysterious disappearance of Wally. Seeing that Barry, Dokko and Olga are running to look for him, Krash asks them not to worry about such things, since they are not real news.

Krash and Chiko are sitting on the shore, trying to come up with a new headline. Suddenly, the wheelbarrow Krash was sitting on rolls into the sea and begins to sink. Chiko runs for help. He explains the situation to adults, but they do not pay attention, thinking that this is only happening in the newspaper. When Krash is finally rescued, he is very cold and shivering in a hammock. Carlin explains to him that newspaper headlines should not shout, but gently whisper.

Tropes:

  • Crying Wolf: Just as Krash and Chiko tell others that they don't write real news, Krash starts sinking, and when Chiko tries to ask their friends for help, they all believe it to be just one of the news articles and they have nothing to worry about. Fortunately, they eventually rescue Krash, and Carlin explains that this is why he should've only wrote the truth on the newspapers.
  • Extra! Extra! Read All About It!: Chiko shouts these words when he delivers the newspaper.
  • Immoral Journalist: Krash's mindset of making news is to have a catching article title, no matter how out of line it is with what actually happened. This almost gets him into trouble when he starts to drown, and Chiko has to ask his friends for help, who at that moment stopped taking their stories seriously.
