That's what happens at a lot of papers when the so-called "copy editors" are forced to spend four-fifths of their time composing pages: any mistake that can't be caught with a computerized spell- and grammar-check doesn't get caught. The industry-wide trend toward merging of editing and composing functions -- to the inevitable detriment of the former in favor of the latter -- is the ultimate triumph of form over content. (I know there are still some exceptions, but for how long?)
