Names in cutlines

When I opened this I was assuming Heywood Jablome had made his triumphant return.

 

Too bad he doesn't just use the one he already has.

 

Two things piss me off (well, a lot of things piss me off; these are two):

Things like cutlines and copy not matching.

And people saying that just because you understand why something might happen more than it used to means you don't care about it. ("People more interested in making excuses than fixing the stuff.")

If a desk that used to have six people on a routine night (including many well-trained veterans) now has two or three (many cheaper new people, which isn't their fault, just the way it is), things that used to be routinely caught and fixed won't be anymore.

That's not an excuse. It's a simple fact.

There's a solution: Hire a bunch more people and go back to six people on the desk on a typical night.

That's not going to happen.

So these things are going to happen.

And Martin, if you have an ironclad way they WON'T happen, then you need to stop wasting your time on here and share it with the newspaper industry, because you'll help the business out and make a lot of money in the process.
