This is a first degree expectation of most businesses.

What the OP pointed out is a fact of life.

We do many things to ensure that humans don’t get “routine fatigue”- like pointing at each item before a train leaves the station to ensure you don’t eyes glaze over during your safety check list.

This isn’t an excuse for the behavior. Its more about what the problem is and what a corresponding fix should address.

I agree. The role of an editor is in part to do this train pointing.

I think it slips because the consequences of sloppy journalism aren’t immediately felt. But as we’re witnessing in the U.S., a long decay of journalistic integrity contributes to tremendous harm.

It used to be that to be a “journalist” was a sacred responsibility. A member of the Fourth Estate, who must endeavour to maintain the confidence of the people.
