YES! Weekly Needs A Proofreader
Greensboro's newest newspaper, YES! Weekly, is in need of a proofreader. In its second issue, staff reporter Jordan Green's article on US Rep. Mel Watt refers to the Congressman as Watts multiple time. The headline writer also got in the game by using the name Watts. Uh, guys your office is in the district of Mel Watt. You might want to get his name right.
Alex, I will take subject-verb disagreement in headlines for $1,000: "Rocker make a racial slur..." I know this is a free paper, and it is just getting started, but either of these mistakes would have cost me two letter grades in English 101 as a freshman at State.
