What Is a Copy Editor?
Time magazine declares that copy editors are the smartest people in any newsroom after watching its deputy copy chief Dan Adkison kick ass on yesterday's episode of Jeopardy.
Dan tells his employer that the reason copy editors are good at Jeopardy is because they read so many different things. "Fifty percent of the catches I make are factual,” he says.
Congrats, Dan! Tune in today to see if he keeps his winning streak alive.
I know if I ever went on Jeopardy these are the categories Alex would announce ... and I would crawl under the podium, ringing my buzzer and saying, "What is toast?"
