Yahoo News Department: You Need an Editor

Quite often, I see major Yahoo stories quoting random bloggers as news and opinion sources. But what really stands out, though, is the lack of headline editing.

This headline was on my Yahoo home page today:

VATICAN ISSUES SEX ABUSE GUIDELINES

OMG, the headline says the opposite of what was done. As written, the headline implies that the church issued guidelines for conducting sex abuse rather than for investigating it.

A good copy editor would never let a headline like that slip into a newspaper...
