There's a thing bad or click-hungry editors do that decent ones don't: they will take otherwise serviceable prose and jam buzzwords into it to boost "relevance." Suddenly Trump is in your XFL story. So is toxic masculinity. Bernie bros. An obligatory fifty privilege checks
Want to know which editors don't do this? Look at the bibliography on my website. @MUGGER1955 is a great one. So are the folks at MEL and Ringer. Those places are by far the best. I send them clean copy and they publish that copy.
"Let's talk MMA. But first, a privilege check: know that I'm a [mediocre white male] who needs to lean out. Not out enough that I'm not getting paid to write this, which would be the normal thing to do. But just enough to tell you this so I can justify taking your job."
