the end of something
June 16, 2008
“Copy editors are being bought out or forced out; they are dying and not being replaced.”
If newspaper copy editors vanish from the earth, no one is going to notice.”
a great New York Times piece on the death of a copy editor, my first real job out of college; which happened after they announced the death of the dark room.

I will notice if copy editors vanish from the earth. I hope they put them in a nursing home with wifi access and allow us bloggers to cyber call on them, “Tuesdays with Morrie” style to learn their secrets.
