Too many errors

Posted

I take great pleasure in reading North Country Now and several local area news papers but am appalled at the amount of miss spellings or typographical errors. For example first thing this morning I pull up NCN and to my surprise the headline reads “As tempers falr, Potsdam village board denies Sheehan rezoning request.” Come on folks do we no longer have proof readers, nor editors that check the spelling prior to publication? To err is human but in this day and age with the technical equipment that basically spells for us, I would be rather embarrassed to see so many errors in my paper that can be read around the world. I realize you want your stories to get out, but take the time to make sure everything is spelled correctly it truly takes away from the story when you are laughing about such silly spelling errors.
