Has the news editor gone the way of the dodo?

Has the role of the news editor become extinct in the online age? Reporters seems to be in a rush to "get something" into the great maw of the media that they don't care about or, even worse, don't know what nonsense they are writing.

For example, there was a shooting at a strip mall today. The article was not very well written, and it included the phrase

"The gunfire damaged several vehicles in the parking lot, including a Chinese restaurant across the street about 200 yards away"

Since when is a Chinese restaurant a vehicle?
