And sub-editors.

And they were even ON SITE so they could have checked the facts.

Sub-editors are journalists, as are most editorial staff right up to editor. In fact, most reporters are at the bottom of the journalistic hierarchy. I know there are some star reporters who have a lot of prestige and a bumper pay packet but they are the exception rather than the rule.

That particular article does seem to be riddled with errors, I suspect it may have been phoned in and a lot of the errors were possibly introduced by the copytakers and perhaps the sub didn't give a flying fig about the music and didn't have the line-up to hand anyway, and probably had 40 other pages or more to look after when a few years ago maybe they would have had to do no more than five each.

But maybe when you've spent a few years in the real world of journalism, Dani, and become a little less starry-eyed about what has become a grossly exploited profession that has been ruined by the bean-counters, you may become as jaded and cynical as them (and me). If that sounds patronising, so be it, but it's no more so than your remarks about people who have been real working journalists for many years and about whose working conditions you seem to know very little.

That's fair enough, you have to remember I'm still studying and have only done a limited amount of work experience so I do have a somewhat starry-eyed belief in journalism. But I'm a total pedant and don't mean to put down anybody that wasn't my intention.

Don't forget to watch the video clip. Lots of nice happy, upbeat people being interviewed. Plus naked bronze dude makes a brief appearance...
