If you're going to be a spelling cop, at least have a clue.
A nonstandard or informal usage is inappropriate for a formal news article. Moreover, the usage is incorrect, even if its informality were acceptable. Even definition number 3 below arguably does not quite apply.
adj : nonstandard usage adv
1: reinforces an assertion, as in "It's expensive all right" [syn: all right, without doubt]
2: sentence-initial expression of agreement [syn: very well, fine, all right, OK]
3: (informal) in a satisfactory or adequate manner; "she'll do okay on her own"; "held up all right under pressure"; (`alright' is a nonstandard variant of `all right') [syn: okay, O.K., all right]
