What rule in journalism
gives the okay to not proofread or spell check your work when writing for
online publishing? Before you put your name on it and put it out there for
millions of people...
I'm not talking blogs.
Errors there are a given. I am talking about valid, official online news
sources. It's very disconcerting to see so many "news articles"
barely make sense because of the typos and the misspellings in them. Maybe I'm
just reading more of them, but it really seems that it's just been getting
worse over time. Like people have just stopped caring. On both ends - writers
stop caring to correct (or look for) their mistakes and readers stop caring to
complain about it. Drives me nuts. (If you're wanting to point out that my writing isn't perfect, who I am to criticize? Don't bother. I never claimed to have an education in it and I sure don't get paid to put it out there. I'm not a writer. But I do put forth the effort to make it the best possible. It seems even I try harder than some "professionals." )
