Ill be the first to admit I can spell worth a damn, but as a journalist you should at least have some grasp of the language, a spell checker, and lastly a proof reader. Ahhhh screw all that print it !

The BYU campus newspaper recently had one of the best typos of all time: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090407/...spaper_mistake

Proof readers are a near extinct species in journalism. I don't know how many typos I come across reading our daily newspaper, which btw is considered a "quality" paper, but in more boulevardesque papers it's even worse.

Although, reporter+aviation seems to be a particularly bad combination.
