Extra! Extra!

Read all about it! From www.nj.com tonight:

Live From The Ledger
• Parisppany laser pointer gets probation 12:27 p.m. ET

• Bridgewater man gets 15 years in dad's slaying 12:25 p.m. ET


So here's the ghing about the danger's of live Web updates for newspapers threoughout the day: Less copyediting means more mistakes, which means more people will layughh at you and youll lost moew creizdicnlity.

We could go oin and ond and onf fdon ondf. But you get the poiint. Rigfht?

(For the record, Parsippany is in New Jersey. Parisppany is somewhere. We just don't know where).

Please, papers. For the sake of restoring the credibility of the press, which is something we've been quietly watching for the last five years or so, enough with the mistakes online.

Agree or disagree? Anyone?
