Newspaper Errors

Okay so here is my first official blog post (dont worry i wont count them all).

I was taking a journalism class in one of my previous schools and noticed something weird about our paper one day.
You may be wondering what was it that I noticed, well, it just so happened that one of the two people cutting and pasting the articles (to newspaper boards not plagiarizing ) glued the title down wrong and almost the whole article was out of order.
So naturally I pointed it out so it could be fixed and it was.
I also found a few spelling and gramatic mistakes on my part.
Later on that day I had some freetime and was helping a friend with her assignment when I noticed that on the front page of the city's newspaper the writer made a huge mistake.
His mistake: he said 'hear' instead of 'here' while talking about a place.
His mistake was using the wrong here.

Now I see why my journalism teacher always got onto our class for making careless mistakes like this.
It stands out.
