Nobody Girl Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Mistakes like this are often less the case of the writer not knowing than the writer slipping up and no one catching it (editors). It happens a lot for our site, but we're not a major publication and don't have the time or resources to always catch these things...try as we might. Not sure how a fully staffed, paying publication like a major daily newspaper makes them...but we're all human.The staffing situation at major papers isn't that great. Cuts are being made across the country (the paper this review came from is about to cut 25 percent of its newsroom staff). My previous paper has had a hiring freeze in effect for four years. Even though people had steadily trickled out and their jobs hadn't been filled, there was still a round of buyouts and a round of layoffs during that time. We're kind of in the same boat at my new job. Under those circumstances, you would be surprised at what people have to do (or not do) to get the paper out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
