Who edits your newspaper?

Posted January 10, 2008 10:00 pm

Does the Daily Herald employ professionals to write and edit their articles or fourth-graders?

I think fourth-graders may do a better job.

Your paper is filled with more typos than any publication should allow. I concentrated on only one page of today's paper on Jan. 9. Section 1, Page 4 contained six articles. In those six articles, I found five errors. The caption under one picture said "name here." The related article clearly contained the name that should have been there. This unfortunately was not just a bad day on your editor's part. It is a common occurrence. You should be embarrassed.

Also, my paper has arrived wet the last three days. Yesterday, the carrier couldn't even get the paper onto my grass like normal. It ended up on the street in the curb gutter. What happened to driveway delivery?
