The copy editor is probably the one who made the typo. The webmaster?
Now you're truly revealing your ignorance about such websites. First
off, there probably is no webmaster per se. That was a WorldNow site,
hosted by a company that provides a centralized hosting facility and
content management tools for many, many stations. Second, a webmaster
would not be involved with the content anyway. The editor enters content
in a content management systems which then publishes it on the site
without any technical staff involvement. Most of all, though, have you
ever seen the writing skills of many web techies like webmasters? They'd
be the *last* people I'd count on for good written language skills.
Based on the paper I see, most can't even write or edit their own
resumes correctly.
