Congrats to Deirdre Edgar

Been meaning to post a congrats to fellow American Copy Editors Society member Deirdre Edgar, with whom I've had the pleasure of working with as a presenter at several ACES conferences.

Edgar was named the new readers' representative at the L.A. Times last month. (A Q and A on Andy Bechtel's blog reminded me how slothful I'd been on that.)

I did get a kick out of one of her early posts -- how the Times is dropping the use of "today" because who knows when you'll read this in the Internet age. How wire service of them (ha!).

Good luck, Deirdre.
