I don't think it's off-topic. A grammatical error in the top of the story, especially a non-breaking-news story, is never a good look. Based on my experience in working in web and print, such mistakes are increasingly uncommon because digital publishing makes it relatively easy to tweak text right up to the second of publication -- and afterwards. It's very easy and tempting to make a quick rewording without thinking it needs another set of eyes. Print newspapers definitely had more editors proofing your copy. But even with a completely computerized publishing system, if I wanted to make a last minute change, I still had to go through at least 2 editors. At some point, making a fix requires, well, literally "stopping the presses". Having several editors in a well-defined editing workflow was a luxury that news orgs could afford decades ago, but it was also a necessary cost to prevent any reporter from making a costly "stop the presses" last minute fix. Digital-only news orgs don't face that consequence.
