| There are, but they're steadily being let go because, hey, you can just go in and change a mistake online as soon as someone complains. Let your readership do the work! | |

| A few years ago, I remember reading about a Florida newspaper that was notorious for its many typos. It was so bad that the paper decided to hold a contest: the reader who could spot the most typos, would win a steak dinner. Needless to say, offering readers a steak dinner is so much cheaper than hiring a professional copy editor. More and more, newspapers consider copy editors expendable, along with entertainment critics. And now we hear the N.Y. Times will go all-digital and the print edition could be gone within a decade ... ''Start spreading the news ... it's leaving today!'' |
