Editor makes prize from mistakes

Just heard this funny bit from StoryCorps, a nonprofit project that collects stories told by ordinary people. And, in case you copy editors were wondering, the name is indeed one word with a capital "C."

In this story, a retired Miami News editor explains what happened when a pre-printed section turned out to contain several factual errors. He also provides some advice for would-be journalists.

That is indeed a great story! Thanks for the link, Lynn...I love StoryCorps, but often miss it when it airs.
