For those unaware "Grauniad" is a decades-old nickname for The Guardian, used particularly by satirical mag Private Eye in reference to its reputation at one time for typos and the like.
Well-earned into the present day. I regularly see typos even today.
I have a deep antipathy to Murdoch press, having said that they used to have remarkably high editorial standards in the Australian flagship newspaper (called "The Australian") and when News Ltd went on a cost cutting drive, around the time of the collapse of their main competitor, Fairfax Ltd (caused by Warwick fairfax, who basically wrecked the empire: he now consults in the USA on .. how to be a successful entrepreneur!) It merged a huge amount of sub-editor functions into a JV with Fairfax, which subsequently basically failed in-place: They sacked the good staff, and kept an out-source agency which had no clue. The Oz, is now pretty U/S for basic grammar AND spelling.
They also routinely now do pun leads. This was funny for about half a second, ever. The Graun also does far too many pun leads. I think all newspapers wind up there.
A good fictional account of news headlines and the journalistic pressures of newspaper writing in happier days is in "leaven of malice" by Robertson Davies: a fictional Canadian newspaper, beset by a cruel trick played in "hatches, matches and dispatches" -"The Shipping News" has its moments too.
2. Can't they at least fix typos quickly?
3. I still regularly see trivial grammar errors (repeated words, etc) in opinion pieces on the Guardian, not just breaking news and liveblogs. I guess some of those opinions pieces might be treated as "fast-turnaround journalism", AKA "hot takes". The rate of simple typos there makes me wonder about more important things like factual accuracy.
Edit to add: reading the article more closely, it sounds like they've only started using this new system quite recently, so hopefully it will help them improve. I stand by my opinion that in recent years the rate of typos and grammar errors has been higher on the Guardian than most other comparable news sites.
"People of ethnic group membership can change over time and with age."
They fixed it eventually (though I doubt it had anything to do with my comment).
There was also the following opinion piece, which still makes the utterly absurd claim that Jesse Jackson campaigned for the capitalization of 'African American':

(I hope the fact that both of my examples happen to relate somewhat to race doesn't make me sound like an alt right troll. I'm sympathetic to the article. It just seems that there was a major fact checking or editing fail.)
