If newspapers are going to ask reporters to add blogging to their duties, why are they not backing them up with a copy editor to oversee their posts? This misspelled headline is an example of the type of careless error that appears regularly on newspaper blogs.UPDATE: The error was still there — both on the home page and the post — more than 15 hours after it was posted. In print, we would sometimes catch such a "head bust" and correct it between editions.
Hi, I saw your blog after its link was forward to me by a friend. I was pleasantly surprised to see the jottings of a person from the editorial side.
I work as a journalist in a national newpaper. I also interact with J-school students on journalism, especially on topics like editing which is a backroom operation but so crucial to newspaper production.
Hope to visit your blog often...
