We've talked for a long time about how newspapers are going downhill in
terms of coverage as they cut staff, but now we're seeing a string of
seriously embarrassing gaffes in headlines.

There was a third example but I can't find it. All three are headlines in
big font that should jump out at people, and you would think there are
multiple layers of editorial to catch this.

 

So what's the outcome? Newspapers just grin and bear it or do they actually
hire more editors?
