John McKay bursts into the lead

After a quiet start, John McKay netted five additional extra credit points today to seize the lead from Michael S.

McKay found three new errors, two of which were in the previous post on this blog and another was on Michigan Live (Click here to see the specifics he noted in comments). In addition, McKay captured a point for questioning a turkey terrorist headline on MLive after a class consensus determined it was at least something worth raising.

McKay tallied his last point by performing the best in Thursday's in-class exercise that focused on Associated Press style.

I hope McKay's sudden rise to the top shows others that it is possible to make a move quickly. Remember, learning how to notice mistakes will help you as an editor of yourself and others.
