Spellcheck and grammar helpers are messing up a lot, too. Which is a good reminder not to rely on them so much. It’s just crazy to think that those mistakes should never happen, and now they’re happening frequently.
Subeditors don't exist anymore. Or if they do they are so overworked they don't have the time they used to. My subeditor works for about 10 different news desks subbing more than she has time for.
Yes, I see it constantly. It is not just sloppiness, it is cost cutting. Fewer editors means errors slip through. It hurts to watch because it lowers trust in journalism overall
Yes! It drives me mad. Subeditors and copy editors are overworked, but often journalists would hand me poorly-written drafts littered with typos and grammatical errors. I wonder if a lot of journalists, writers (and editors) just missed out on learning basic grammar.
Typos happen. Most readers either do not notice or do not care. I think obsessing over tiny grammatical mistakes is outdated — speed and impact matter more than perfection in modern media.
While speed and impact matter, they are meaningless when a reader has to stop in their tracks and figure out whether the writer meant ”its” instead of “it’s” or “whose” instead of “who’s”. These typos aren’t just embarrassing: they reduce the impact of your message.
