Where’s the Editor?

One of the complaints about bloggers is that what we published is not edited by another prior to publishing. Newspapermen criticize bloggers then as being less than an authority.

I think editing is a wonderful thing. For this blog though, editing is left to me and only me. Folks sometimes will let me know about mistakes. I correct them when they do. I sometimes reread older pieces (I like to reread posts from previous years) and correct spelling and grammar mistakes when I catch them.

But I am fully aware there are plenty of mistakes here. There is no editing by another. Newspapermen don’t think much of that.

Of course, newspapermen sometimes get it wrong too. Do we throw the baby out with the bath water when they do?

The above error has since been corrected. If we played it their way, we could discredit everything the paper ever has to say.

Yes, that seems rather pointless, doesn’t it?
