Work Update
I’m still trying to get my head around what my editor thinks so I can write accordingly. Today I wrote a short news brief on Google’s upcoming facility in Michigan, and he added in a phrase that I would personally consider unnecessarily wordy. Here’s an excerpt:
“Michigan has been Googled,” said Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm at a news conference yesterday in Landsing. What that means exactly is that Google plans to open a facility in Ann Arbor that will employ 1,000 workers over the next five years.
The part highlighted in yellow was the addition. What do you guys think? I’m probably being nitpicky, but I still like to know the reason behind edits.
