Review: “Looking for a copy editor in a crunch” - By Caroline McCarthy

I just came across the most choice piece of journalism, and I’ve got a few words of advice for all of you new-age bloggers out there. Watch out for Caroline McCarthy!  That bitch will cut you up and spit you out into a pool of 0’s and 1’s that nobody will ever remember they read.

Take a look at the zinger she threw at Michael Arrington, TechCrunch Founder:

In a recent post on TechCrunch, for instance, founder and blogger-in-chief Michael Arrington posted a summary of recent shake-ups at file-sharing site BitTorrent. The only problem is, the spelling of the site’s name fluctuated between “BitTorrent” and “BitTorent” throughout the post–with the misspelling in the headline, even. (If it’s been corrected by now, check the comments for evidence of the mishap.)”

Uhhhhhh, hello Pullitzer? I could not agree more. Thank God Caroline is a ‘traditional’ journalist, or I might have wondered why the ’s in “Government’s” was not included in the highlighted link in her previous post “America’s most digital cities? Think Sun Belt”. Man, that could have been really embarrassing.

Congratulations to CNet’s Caroline McCarthy. Your enlightening report has been ranked, “Trivial Writing at it’s Choice-est!”
