Catching up with a copyediting crusader
November 20, 2012 § Leave a comment
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to interview Fred Vultee, a journalism professor and American Copy Editors Society board member. He conducted a study examining readers’ perceptions of edited and unedited news articles. We talked about his research and what it means for the editing craft (spoiler alert: it isn’t going anywhere).
It was awesome to pick Fred’s brain about his research design and methodology (haven’t done that since Wooster), and really exciting to learn from someone helping prove that editors’ jobs really do make a difference.
Portions of my interview with Fred are up on the Dragonfly blog today—check it out.
