Please don't make me laugh, "PROOFREADERS"?!? the proof-reader for "The Citizen" is most probably the same one that 99.99999% of periodicals use. IE: The default dictionary that comes with MS WORD! If I had two cents for every time I see a "wrong word" in a newspaper I could easily give up my day job! Although I must admit even when he word is wrong it's (usually)spelled correctly.

The Monitor is one of the few papers that I can actually read and stay focused on the article itself and not keep having to re-read sentences to make educated guesses at what's trying to be said.

And what's up with the West-End Times? The don't even credit the writer's with by-lines which tends to make me think it's all one person doing all the writing.

I suppose it all boils down to the editors attitude, some care, but they are few and far between. (Which I why I replaced the CBC RSS with that of The Monitor for my home page.) Most I find are too busy worrying that the content in the opinion pieces isn't going to cause them any grief, like make them do any actual work!

If they wanted jobs where they get to sit around and do nothing but look important they should have become politicians not editors!
