Is it just me or are the major few, which include in NSW the Herald, Telegaph and Australian not even bothering to spellcheck or grammar check their articles. Obviously all papers are infected as they are owned by the same interests.

I don't know about the others, but sub-editing of the SMH, Age and sister publications was outsourced a couple of years ago. Whoever got the contract isn't doing their job.

It's the awful fuck ups with photo captions that get me - forget spelling; sometimes they don't even have the right player!
