The more things change...

My latest editing project is a charming little book about almanacs in eighteenth-century America. The following words from the preface of a 1747 almanac pretty much describe "Unionville in the News": "wheresoever ... I observe any thing that is curious and uncommon, useful or entertaining, I resolve to give it a place in my almanack for the good of the publick.”

    Question is: how do you resist editing the print edition of your own newspaper? The bloopers are hilarious, but the reporting of news is often so confused and elliptical as to be incoherent. They should extend your job description!
