The death of proofreading?

By Jack Brummet

Proofreading and stringent copy-editing may not be dead, but they seem to be wheezing, and almost ready for life support.  While it hasn't happened in The New York Times yet, I suspect it will one day.  Even now, it's not uncommon to find a typo/transposition on the front page.  And sometimes incomplete edits, page breaks where words are missing, etc.   I wonder if the person responsible for this headline kept their job?
