Copy Editors are Newsrooms' Most Laid-Off Workers
In both the United States and Canada, copy editors are sacrificed more than other other newsroom job categories. But at what cost? Copy editors may be the last line of defense, protecting newspapers’ greatest virtue and most important selling point — credibility. Yet copy editors are little noticed outside the newsroom. Even the Newseum, Washington, D.C.’s 250,000-square-foot journalism museum, doesn’t make a single mention of copy editing. Art: www.jackcentral.com
