KATU used to have a great system for reviewing copy before it got on the air. People there used to talk on the street about working with a managing editor who help them made their stories better.
Now, it seems, the only edits are time edits (Producer: "I told you it has to be 1:15!").
Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - needs to have their scripts reviewed for clarity and content. Just "banging it out" isn't good enough.
