Let's just say it's well deserved because the newspapers we get today aren't what they used to be. Most have been bought out by large entities who only care about making MORE money. Consequently, the first thing to go is the proof reading. Just like manufacturing, the first thing to cut back on is 'quality'!
Fortunately for you all I don't get paid for my writing or editing skills. The reality is when a newspaper prints an article at least 3 people have to pass muster on it before it's set to type. All 3 are paid to get it right, and all failed here.
Well said, JordyG.
And the people who print, deliver and sell papers really don’t deserve a living anyway!
Well then, that makes it ok to mangle the language, even if one is is a “writer/reporter”. BTW, I believe the internet requires one to string together words into coherent sentences?
Ever since the industrial revolution, industries have changed with the times. The same needs to apply to print media.
Not to mention that printing newspapers, most of which will be discarded in a day or so, is environmentally a disaster.
I don't want local newspapers to go away, I want them to realize that printing actual newspapers needs to be a thing of the past. It's not a profitable 21st Century business model and, as Fomalhaut said, it's environmentally a disaster.
'Local Newspaper' need to change their format and just print "Local" news. I know myself that I just want to find out what's going on around my town and area. If you want national, you can get it quicker online (albeit it's mostly 'tainted' politically and untrustworthy). As far as being an "environmental disaster", I've never known 'paper' to cause any problems and degrades quite nicely (faster than most tree's I might add).
I didn’t watch that Seton Hall game… yet. Did Andra play against UConn?Andra Espinoza-Hunter is not basketball? BTW this wasn't about spelling or typing the wrong key.
The ones that deliver don’t get a living… unless they can do 2 or 3 papers simultaneously.
AEH was suspended for the game due to a violation of SH team rules.
You are fresh meat Tony, don’t you know there are a few spelling
That's a copy editing issue. Ultimately the writer is responsible, assuming that it wasn't edited in by the desk. Looks like the copy editor tried to change the voice. But, when you are going 1000 MPH and writing so much, what the hell is a damn copy desk for?
You're correct. They're also considered 'sub-contractors' and get no benefits or coverage for their autos. Personally I would never consider delivering with those conditions. You'd go through brakes, transmissions, etc..... in no time.
