Journalists like editors
Romenesko: “In a blog post, Alan Mutter wondered if it’s time for newspapers to edit out some editors, then asked his readers how many editors they believe it takes to vet a story. Of the more than 400 respondents to his survey, 55.2% favored two editors per story, 21.9% advocated three or more editors per story, 20.4% said a single editor was sufficient and a mere 2.5% said reporters didn’t need anyone looking over their shoulders.”
Um, who knew? Alan’s read by editors and journalists who want to be editors. Kinda like asking lawyers if there’s a need for judges.
