My family uses both the daily Oregonian and the internet for news.  I find it easier to sit down at the computer in the wee hours and check the local TV station's web sites for weather and other local news.  I am not one to run out to get the paper in my jammies.  But I am concerned that the writing and editing process is rushed in an effort to get the online news out faster.  I notice a lot more typos in the online news stories and this bothers me.  Does online news go through the same rigorous editing and fact checking that newspaper news has done in the past?
