Hi Dark, Submitting articles for newspapers and other publications such as magazines is the same. It is the author who is responsible for his or her spelling and proper use of grammar. Although, the editor may make corrections or point out errors that need to be made before the submission is accepted for publication. However, in a lot of those cases the people submitting the articles at hand are professional writers, journalists on assignment, and can be trusted to have a reasonable degree of good spelling and grammar. As the people on this list are not professional writers, and if their emails are any judge, many listers are poor spellers as well as have a poor understanding of grammar so may need more help in those areas.
Cheers!
