The Thursday, Nov. 5 edition of The Herald-Dispatch featured an issue I had not come across before now - that being a major macro-editing issue. A short article written on page 2, titled "Mysterious men in red appear in Huntington," did not need to be published.
The story was not relevant and provided no true newsworthy elements. Maybe a follow-up was planned, but if not, that story did not need to be published. Outside of that, the other micro-editing issues continued the same themes as previous editions - wordiness, cliches, beginning a lead paragraph with a prepositional phrase, ending a lead paragraph with the time element and editorializing.
Besides that short story written that did not need to be published, this edition was well-written yet again. The bulk of the errors in this edition were small things that don't mean much.
