Jyrko should get his/her facts straight. As a reader of the Times-Standard, I have noticed a substantial improvement in copy-editing and an increase in local coverage (esp. in the business area) since Cheryl Karnes has been working there. I also worked with Ms Karnes at Internews, an international nonprofit based in Arcata, and was on the committee that hired her. She has worked at several newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, as mentioned in the comment from tmaxster. At Internews, she was extremely compentent, organized, attentive to detail and dedicated in her role producing newsletters (including both design and writing) and other print materials. It's ironic that Jyrko criticizes Karnes' news skills while writing unsubstantiated inaccurate information her/hiself.
