So is flollowing like following but with some additional flailing? I know the newspaper business is having money problems but surely Bezos can afford some copyeditors. #copyeditingisnotoptional
Sace 😡 I see typos, misspellings and incorrect word usage more than I would like. I'm assuming it's the pressure of having to stay ahead in this crazy 24/7 news cycle. 7y
melissanorr That might be part of it @RestlessFickleBookSlut but the Post very publicly laid off more than half of the editing department several years ago so I think it's more about not wanting to spend money on it. Which I find completely unacceptable just like I do with book publishers. 7y
Sace @melissanorr Ohhhh. I didn't know that. I agree. That's unacceptable. Fact checkers and copy editors are extremely important. I understand that we are a capitalist nation, but sometimes it feels like we've sold our souls and minds just for the sake of getting the biggest profit. Not just *a* profit, but ALL THE PROFIT. (I'm being hyperbolic maybe, but boy I feel that way.) 7y
