Before I venture west to examine the marks of time on my classmates from 1969, a reminder:
I was mistaken about the broadcast of my interview about the state of copy editing on National Public Radio’s On the Media. It is scheduled for this weekend, running at 2:00 p.m. Sunday on WYPR-FM in Baltimore. (Listings may vary in your area.) You can also download the program from the On the Media Web site.
Well then, I'll see you in my iTunes tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I just caught the very end of the NPR broadcast and had to visit your blog. I'll be visiting again again, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a former copy editor (and, briefly, metro editor). I was deputy copy desk chief at the Akron Beacon Journal -- the most fun I ever had in my life, and was paid on top of that!
This morning as I was driving to my miserable replacement McJob, I thought to myself, Now I know how the buggy whip maker felt at the turn of the last century.
I heard your interview on NPR at KUT in Austin, TX this morning. Your interview aired during the 9 AM "On the Media" this Sunday 7.26.09. It was very enjoyable & enlightening.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI loved the segment on public radio up here in New Jersey. I would be interested in seeing your discussion on the errors found and posted to the blog. Any special section for that?
