I remember meeting by Uncle at Telposta towers on a restaurant 5 years ago and he stopped reading a newspaper since it had two many grammatical mistakes, i think its an issue of ethics and rewarding mediocirty<br>

Catherine,<br>
I think we are approaching this discussion the wrong way. If you have been employed to be an Editor, then be the best in the World. You simply have to take the job seriously.<br>
<br>
You need to watch Michael Jackson's "This is it" in order to understand what taking your job seriously mean. You will begin to understand why he was good. Similarly, we can have good editors. The Indians have succeeded in this yet we think we have better grasp of the language.<br>
<br>
There are good Editors out there but they are kept out of the job either because they do not know someone or have no money to bribe and get the job. Do we know how the hiring is done? For us to succeed we must first accept our inadequacies, our rotten habbits, our biases, our tribalist tendancies, our ...<br>
<br>
There is no sabstitute for hard work and transparency. If we embrace these simple rules, our publications will change over night. It is time we accept that governance issue for this country does not only affect the Government. We must get rid of it from our society.<br>
<br>
This is the root cause of our bad image in everything we do.<br>
