I talked to the Director of News at one of our local stations not too long ago, and he said that often times they use the electronic files used for the teleprompter to feed their websites. When the text is written to be read on the news they are more concerned about time than they are about whether the word is spelled "see" or "sea." It is supposed to be proofed before it gets sent to the sites, but he said some errors get through anyway.
>The article was obviously outsourced, thus accounting for the errors! :) I notice many errors in documents these days.
