Good article but I gotta ask why it says "indy" in the title and then "indie" in the article itself? Using "indy" is so obviously wrong.

A common reason for this kind of discrepancy is that the author writes the article, but the editor writes the headline.

There is also no such institution as “Dartmouth University,” so I would guess that editors are in short supply over the holidays.

Well there was, but it was taken down by Daniel Webster in front of the US Supreme Court.

It’s a surprisingly common mistake though. I think I see Dartmouth University more often than Dartmouth College when reading non-Dartmouth materials.

I'm always amazed when I read about "editors" neglecting this and that.

Mainstream newspapers and magazines have 1/5 the editors they once had, and everything is underpaid and on a hectic schedule.

And people expect editors to be involved at anything beyond a fleeting level in online outlets?
