I have a public relations job, and I write a lot of stories. Mostly I interview a professor when they do something cool and write a story about it. I then email them a draft of the story for edits. Sometimes they just say "looks good," and sometimes they rewrite the entire thing in their image.
I'm not saying that I'm a pro at public relations or anything, but I am better at it than some of the professors.
For example. In a recent story about immigration, I had quoted a professor as saying "Be your brother's keeper. We all share a responsibility for human rights."
When I got the edited story back, the quote had been changed to the following:
“Be your brother’s keeper. We all share a responsibility as duty-bearers for integration with human rights under a localized culturally sensitive program.”
