And that reminds me: A Times business story I was reading last weekend had "fun" in place of "fund."
The L.A. Times has laid off a lot of people in the last few years — partly out of necessity, partly to compensate for some bad business moves. The paper's downtown office, once bustling and exciting, now seems a prime location for tumbleweeds.
The inevitable result: typos.

I missed your recent post on Times' booboos. I think of these goofs as learning opportunities. Ditto for larger gaffs like lapses in ethics, etc. Have you seen Kurtz's weekly segment on CNN? Sunday mornings I think. It could be titled "Keeping Journalism Honest."

That's a good idea to see them as learning opportunities. I tend to take a more negative view: "It's all goin' to hell."
No, I haven't seen the Kurtz reports. (I have a pathological aversion to having the TV on in the early daytime.) But keeping journalism honest sounds like a great cause.
