Dismantling safety nets is a bad idea. #whyeditors are important: we are that net for quality journalism, @nytimes @baquetnyt

@deanbaquet We're all rooting for The New York Times' continued success. We wouldn't tweet at you if we didn't. #Whyeditors

#whyeditors because autocorrect sicks.

Why get worked up over grammar/spelling errors? They may signify the copy wasn't checked for errors in fact or argument, either. #whyeditors

.@nytimes copy editors are first readers, catching embarrassing mistakes before readers write viral letters with screenshots. #whyeditors

@nytimes @baquetnyt Quality editing will help you keep readers’ trust and respect even as the government attacks the media. #whyeditors

.@nytimes, you can stand behind your reporting because somebody checked it first. Don't fire the editors who do the checking. #whyeditors

Copy editors are among your most dedicated employees you'll ever find in a newsroom. Protect them the way they protect you. #whyeditors

Editing is not an expense, @nytimes. It is an investment. #whyeditors

@baquetnyt Standing in solidarity w/ @nytimes copyeditors & their essential work: ensuring accurate, well-crafted news articles. #whyeditors

#whyeditors are important: There is no "low-value editing" if you value accuracy, readability & consistency. Keep your copyeditors, @nytimes

Readers respect @nytimes reporting when it's accurate, clear, and readable -- and conscientious human editors make it that way. #whyeditors

Because so much of our work is invisible it can look like editors don't add much value. But that doesn't mean you don't need us. #whyeditors
