Fiji Times - Spelling Mistakes In Headline. (Updated)

I did not know that Air Pacific's order of the Dream liner (Boeing 787-9) was in for a fight, as alluded to in a Fiji Times article. I'm probably not the first person to see such mistakes on the online publication and as such, it is a poor reflection of the professionalism of the Editor and Sub Editor.

What is so difficult to understand is how the mistake could be missed in the headline?
The Fiji Times Editorial page, urges their readers to make a cool change.

We at The Fiji Times choose to make a cool change for ourselves, our families, our communities and our nation.

These are just some of a long list of things that The Fiji Times has initiated on the advice of experts and through the commitment of our staff.


With all their expert advice and the staff commitment, typos still arise and this definitely underscores the irony of the Fiji Times "cool change" campaign. Perhaps, the most urgently needed change with Fiji Times, is the employment of more proof readers.



In a span of a couple of days, the spelling mistakes continue unabated in the Fiji Times as seen in this article titled "Priets wants system change".
