Tales of journalism past

The above links to a little story about a Miami newspaperman. I wholeheartedly agree with his quote: "I love the idea of getting out a paper every day. I've never put out a newspaper that I couldn't have done a better job if we'd have had another two hours," he says. "So I don't think a newspaper was ever complete, because news is never complete."

This guy began working at the Miami News in 1950, so I'm guessing the story he is telling occurred long ago. The story is funny until you start to realize that in today's climate, most editors wouldn't care that mistakes were already in print. Too expensive to fix, too much else to worry about, like, I don't know, dealing with upset advertisers? Appeasing angry public officials?
