MORE WORKPLACE TRAUMA

Meet Business Week bigshot Charles S. DuBow,  who ain’t happy with the copy desk. I hope we are clear on this.

1. What I like is the notion that “I rule, unless I stuff up, in which case you’d better cover my ass.”

   (BTW: What the hek is a dek?)

2. Thursday is Take Your Child to Work Day. You have 72 hours, copy desk.

3. “The reason I am here to do replicate the success I had at Forbes.com.”

4. From About.com:

   “Dek”

   
   Definition: Dek is basically a subhead that accompanies a headline. It is a one or two line summary about a story.

   Also Known As: blurb

   Examples:

   Hed: 10 Ways to Improve Your Memory
   Dek: These everyday activities can help you retain more now!
