    But you know, it would be pretty dangerous to drive on a snot-covered road.

    Sad that these hedlines are becoming more and more the norm. I can easily see it happening at our place. Used to be we had an ME, AME, city editor and night editor all working at night. On any given night, except Sunday at least two of the four were there at night just to proof pages after the copy desk printed and proofed. Minimum of three eyes on someone else's pages including two salaried editors.
    A few year back, the night editor and city editor were combined, the ME changed and the new guy worked strictly 9-5 and changed the AME's hours to 10-6. The combo night/city editor was changed from 12-8 so the only people looking at pages now are copy desk. And on a busy night if three or four pages come out near deadline, no one has the time to give a page a good look.
    And yet anytime a hed bust or a significant part of a story wrong the ME calls a meetign with the copy desk and can't figure out why it happened.
    Those days make me happy to be in sports.

    I am guessing there are no highly paid executives at the Brattleboro Reformer.

    They are owned by MediaNews, with good ol' Lean Dean in charge.

    Some paper had West Virginia losing its "bowel" the other day. It was on Romensko, I think. Will look later if the spirit moves me
