Ah, even this new announcement from an old newspaper needs improvement! This appeared on the webpage of Inquirer.Net; never mind the date, never mind the author – I reproduce as I saw today, Saturday, 05 April 2025: “Job Openings. Inquirer.Net” inquirer.net). The list has these 33 positions:

I note and wonder: Why is there no advertisement for a Knowledge Editor and/or Technical Editor? (Maybe an English Editor.) “Technical editors,” says InterviewGuy.com, interviewguy.com), “work with a variety of technical documents and materials, ensuring they are clear, concise, and effective in communicating complex information.” ((image from sg.images.search))

If you want the best media presentation, and/or report, or write-up, you have to have the best technical editor! One with quite a lot of experience, if not quite a lot of years – don’t forget: quite a lot of enthusiasm for discovering new things and ideas.

I found the following entry on a page of Inquirer.Net and it is quite revealing of how good/bad Inquirer.Net is in editing; see for yourself now –

We firmly believe that by giving everything that the farmer needs, we empower them to make a sustainable livelihood, create efficiencies and value, and therefore become globally competitive. Philippine agriculture is much broader than our efforts alone, but our experience demonstrates that change is possible.

I’m sorry to say this but there are 2 wongs in the above first sentence, especially these words:
“We firmly believe that  by giving everything that the farmer needs, we empower them…”

(1) Sorry! But wrong number; it should read … “the farmers need” (plural subject). (2) Also, “wrong number” – if we want the farmers to learn, we do not give everything that they need! That would be making them dependent on us always and ever.

But yes, we have to “empower them to make a sustainable livelihood, create efficiencies and value, and therefore become globally competitive.” That is why we need a Technical Editor!

I say, the best Editor does not only check your spellings and grammar but more so your knowledge – s/he advises you on what to do if your article or idea “Needs Improvement.”

But yes, I believe that we should empower the farmers and make them globally competitive.

And my advice is this: “We should teach the farmers first how to help themselves – before we give them anything (not everything) they need to become globally competitive. First things first!

That’s why I said you need a good Technical Editor.
