Here's what today's Nobel Prize in Economics was all about: the importance of science and technology in driving economic growth, and the need for churn in companies to sustain it.

tell me, what's the point of leave if they don't have someone take over your work while you're gone? day 2 of subediting a two-week backlog, let's do this

This often happens now with the poor quality of BBC subediting. The piece is interesting and makes most of the points your trigger happy followers have made in response. It has little to do with the half witted headline.

Mine is ‘About as popular as a Polly Waffle in a swimming pool’, which came to my attention when I was subediting (copy-editing) this piece for the BBC website… www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazin...

Maybe they are subediting "avoid IHT" into the opening para as a (mistaken) synonym for "place in a trust"? Still not really clear why it would have been done like that but maybe because cheaper to insure the younger spouse's life for the extra 20% risk for 7 years after trust settlement.

This is patently the wrong word to use in the headline, and yet the story's been up since 5am.
Journalism mightn't be dead but subediting skills sure are.

I see the US arm has inherited its parent media organ's approach to subediting (even if not, thankfully, its transphobia)

Interesting - in my years subediting, I literally never relied on anything but intuition for when something was plagiarised (admittedly, shorter pieces of work). But almost every time my internal bullshit detector has fired, I've been right

The subediting at the council when I was there 10 years ago was brutal. Sad to see such hyphen abuse

Also the subediting needs work:
"– including minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration – "
"concentration camps" perhaps? (Also I'd go with "minimizing" because it's English).

Ok. Maybe they did and couldn't be bothered being poked by undergraduate hijinx. I've had to mark several hundred undergraduate papers, and not every essay gets close subediting

I thought perhaps they could assist with a bit of the mechanical work of subediting - more so then just a simple find/replace script. I was so, so wrong 😂 (and just to be clear, never did use it for work because a) that's currently not allowed and b) doesn't work, as I discovered)

yeah, you only went through the usual multiple rounds of copyediting and subediting and polishing, you can ignore all of that because you're The Author

I'm guessing the reader comment had this in, and they didn't bother doing much subediting. They didn't gloss e.g. Zukunftsmuseum or Bayerische Hell in the same article...

The dangers of subediting is having to look up whether it's fetish-wear, fetish wear or fetishwear and then getting served ads for a whole lot of items I'm really not in the market for.

This is the quality of subediting at The Irish Times.
