Were the editors too stressed out to edit?
Lone Star Times has two fine examples of the Chronicle's rigorous editing process.
First, Matt Bramanti caught a story yesterday that had four pretty noteworthy errors. In short order, after he had posted the errors and the corrections needed, the Chronicle's story was fixed! He should send the editors a bill!
Second, Rob Booth notes that an editorial in yesterday's Chronicle carried a big mistake:
I do have a problem with this:
Temporary Acting Rep. Melissa Noriega, wife of Rep. Rick Noriega, who is serving in Iraq,
Rep. Noriega (D-Houston), for whose service in the Texas Army National Guard we should all be thankful, is serving in Afghanistan.
Oh my! And not only that, but if you click on the link to the editorial, the mistake is still there, and today the Chronicle's Corrections section is EMPTY!
Yesterday, MeMo said, "a lot of folks here at the Chron are stressin' at the end of this busy week. You do not want to look at anybody funny, let me tell you." Especially if you had a piece that needed to be edited, apparently.
