@MotherOfDragons – newspapers have let go most of their editing staff. Journalists are apparently supposed to edit their own pieces. I have some editor friends who frequently note the sharp rise in typos and errors of the sort you quoted in news articles over the last few years. Someone I know just today posted on Facebook a headline that was published in 4 local papers giving the results from one of yesterday’s football games – except they got the name of one of the teams wrong.
