Dear Newsblogs: Copy. Editing. Do It.

This is getting ridiculous. I can’t count how many times I’ve spotted a typo or grammatical error on a newsblog like Ars Technica or Gawker days or weeks after an article was originally published. Come on, people, I know typos and mistakes can slip by your eye before you hit Publish, but fix them when you inevitably notice them later. Even if it’s an old article, just press Edit and fix it. It’s not hard.

There’s even less of an excuse when you have 8 or 10 staff writers with editing privileges reading each other’s articles. Or when you make 5 updates to a breaking story and your third sentence still talks about “Aople, Inc.”
