Message: [QUOTE="Golden Husky, post: 2305776, member: 8090"] Just to stand up for the journalist here, it's an editor, not the piece's author, who writes the headline. (Yes, I realize you didn't blame the writer, Rocky). I've been a sports journalist all my adult life and while a good editor can improve your copy, one with limited skills can diminish your work and embarrass you. For example, I once described an executive as "without affectation." An editor changed it to "without affection." Another time I wrote that something was "tony" and it was edited to "tiny." You feel like going up to the offended party with your laptop, showing him the screen and saying, "See, it wasn't me!" Okay, rant over. Have a great season, Molly, both on the court and in the classroom. Go Huskies. [/QUOTE]
