I just changed the lead headline at The Guardian
(beehaw.org)
Nothing huge ... just removing an "n" that made it incorrect. I emailed because it was a bit embarrassing.
But I literally changed an international publication. Not since I changed A1 on The Washington Post as a bystander in 2003 have I felt this.
That I need to get back in the field. UK might be a bit of a stretch, but overall, the sensation is one of "holy fuck, I'm better at this than I realized." The Post was actually not that far away but had a national presence. This time? National is too small of a goal, it would appear.
