Human error?
I would like to express greetings to The Jakarta Post, since it is my first English newspaper and it adopts a one-stop reading headline format, as well as providing the latest news with considered articles.
Let me introduce myself. I am just an ordinary employee in the research and development department of a multinational enterprise in Indonesia.
As a professional newspaper, in my opinion the Post makes few significant mistakes (wrong titles, poor grammar, word choice, etc.).
However, I am still confused about two stories that appeared in the Dec. 1 issue on page four under the headlines The kiss of death may be on the lips for stations and Right body wants judicial powers.
Was this just a slight human error by the layout person, the result of the poor proofreading skills of the editor on duty or just laziness in the newsroom?
