Playing With Speak N’ Spell As Child Not Qualification for Journalism Job

This afternoon, as I was reading Gawker, I came across an amazing tidbit of news. And by amazing, I mean horrifying in a funny, man-the-world-of-journalism-is-messed-up kind of way. Some jokers in nowheresville, Ill., decided to make their own county magazine because the mainstream media was just too biased and negative for their county’s tastes. Hence, Cook County Magazine was born. Well, more like a stillbirth. The magazine will never be distributed because there were too many misspellings and omissions.
The Chicago Sun Times reports this:
“I was asked to review it and decided not to distribute it -- not because of content, but errors and omissions in the article" about John Stroger [the man featured in the cover story], Stoger Spokesman Eugene Mullins said. "Judging on grammatical stuff -- something misspelled or that's not a complete sentence -- falls back on the president. And this is a Cook County magazine. I have to find a way to get rid of them. I'm not distributing them.”
Sorry, Cook County. If you want positive news, go read some press releases.You can view the full story here http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/1076365,CST-NWS-mag27.article.
