http://realworldmedia.blogspot.com/2010/03/world-needs-good-editor.html

Either that or they are uneducated. I don’t know which is worse. However, it doesn’t really matter; management hires (and fires) people and is responsible, ultimately, for quality control.

Real World Media: Readers Can't Trust News Sites that Publish Sloppy Copy
http://realworldmedia.blogspot.com/2011/05/readers-wont-trust-news-sites-with.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Readers Can't Trust News Sites that Publish Sloppy Copy. Founder, Displaced Journalists. A former colleague from UPI posted a comment here on my Real World Media. Blog yesterday jokingly lamenting the fact that it took him a year to respond to my commentary of March 14, 2010, regarding sloppy copy.
