I think it’s a lost position. News outlets don’t want to pay copy editors anymore. 

 

Before Courier Express went out of business I did classified ad typesetting and they would deduct for every mistake.

I never had a deduction.

Assistant editor was out so I was asked to check proofs for mistakes and found a load of them.

Editor was so impressed he got an override written on my contract as "auxiliary editor" and I got paid for finding mistakes.

Any time I was not doing my work he'd had me stacks of proofs to check.

My late Grandmother was a proofreader for the Tonawanda News.  She would plotz reading the Internet today.

It appears that you consider yourself a genius editor.

Quick fact check, The Courier Express printed it's last edition in 1982.

FYI

When paid yes, thanks for correcting typo.

Looked him up.  He didn't do the running tests at the Penn State Pro Day, so unlikely we can gloss him "Speedy".

For Oline I'll take "meaty" over "speedy"
