If the editor leaves both quotesat the end, they need to move the attribution of the secondquote to the beginning of the quote so it is clear who isspeaking.

Moving the first (edited) quoteto back up the lead makes more sense and reads better. For a local chamber ofcommerce, capitalize the full name: the Greater WacoChamber of Commerce. Informally and on subsequentreferences, the chamber is lowercase.

  • or ethical issues with the story?Middle level: Does the story uses
  • the right sources? Does it flow?Lowest level: Grammar, spelling, punctuation, style
