Robert, <br><br>I don't think I said that a jobless graduate is inferior - a jobless graduate is just jobless. That, in itself, is not necessarily a sign of qualification or lack of qualification. <br><br>Outsourcing services or not is a different debate. You outsource because others can deliver a specific service cheaper and better than you can within your company. Depends. <br>
<br>All I'm saying is: it takes more than being an English graduate (jobless or employed) to be a copy editor. Copy editing involves a specific skill set that doesn't come with an English degree. <br><br>I'd also point out (before Mr Gaitho gets there) that 'you are disgracing' isn't a proper sentence. Am I disgraceful? Or digressing? Or am I disgracing something or someone? :) <br>

Or you could have them on the payroll, but have them work online, so they can work anywhere and don't need to be physically present in the office. <br>
<br>However, that's secondary to quality, although I'd argue that for key functions, it'd be more useful to have them on payroll and in the office. A lot of mistakes occur again and again, so if I were in charge of cleaning up copy (and I was milimetres away from applying for that position with the Star), I'd try to develop an approach that would teach the journalists to avoid them. I'd hunt down anyone who still uses 'greenbuck' and 'curving a niche' and who uses 'adorn' wrongly.� <br>
<br>My point is: 'English graduate' in itself is not a qualification for good copy editing. That requires a lot more than an English degree. It's entirely possible that someone with an English degree makes for a good copy editor, but it requires a lot more than that.<br>

You may be better off with an English major graduate, Linguistics graduate and Information Sciences (Publishing Major) graduate. The IS course at MU had a renowned editing course in the '80s with the late Jonathan Kariara. I do not know how they are doing now. I remember him teaching an editing class and emphasizing the importance of good grammar, good English and simplicity especially when communicating to the wider market. I remember "Class, it is easier to say "walk" rather than "perambulate" even though they mean the same thing.� He gave an example of certain words that you must be extremely
careful about when editing...they are words that you must counter-check and DO NOT AT ANY COST rely on� your computer (the class
already had experience in this).�</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Let me give you an example of one of those words and forgive me as I have no intention to be vulgar. Two years ago I was in Dar and I was reading their top local paper. The heading in one of the lead stories was 'President opens a Pubic library'......I can't remember whether it was a library or what but you know the word I am referring to. I actually drew the attention of someone I knew to this major error and she promised to get in touch with the editor. My point is such words on a spell-checker will be correct, it requires as well trained eye to still sweep over the document and pick words like this. Even in the the Kenyan case we lack this seriously yet the qualified people are there. I am glad this topic has come up because sometimes I just put the paper aside as I am horrified at the level of grammar and editorial mistakes. The same happens with the news that
is scrolled during News broadcasts....and while I am at that... some of the Opinion questions are SO ABSURD and even worse they are� grammatically wrong...wrong...wrong....</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Enough said....</span></div>

Infact it is the ICT use that is the cause of the problem- given the little ICT literacy by some of our newsrooms- most of our sub editors learn computer by on job-rarely able to master command of the computer functions- including grammer, spell checks-it will continue happening<br>
<br><br><br>Previously, we used to print hard copies of the articles for editing manually with red pens- thus very few mistakes- but now<br><br>Many of journalism courses do not include introduction to computer lessons- so how will the graduates know how to use them<br>
<br><br><br>Who regulates journalism training or draws the course or approves the same in the country anyway- if you even happen to see some course outlines offered in some of the colleges and universities offering journalism� including Government ones- you will feel sorry<br>
