Where Editors can communicate via the web
with others who have similar responsibilities.
When you have a few extra minutes compare: notes –
pay – opportunities – problems. Your participation
is anonymous – including your name and ‘publication’.
Also open to university journalism professors and students so they
can see what professional life is really like in an Editor’s
chair.
When we were considering establishing this channel
for the media and small companies, one of the interesting tidbits
that came to light during our dialogs with Editors, was that many
(most?) of their professional activities were organized by subject
matter or genre or publication type and size – not editorial
responsibilities per se.
Their interactions at trade shows, associations, etc. were organized
by subject matter such as: ‘families’ or ‘automotive’
or ‘society’ or ‘local’, and so forth.
Creating a place where Editors could anonymously interact
with other Editors about the job of editing was where the
Editors’ BLOG came from. Feel free to participate.
Providing access to Journalism Students was the idea of an East
Coast editor who quipped they ‘only wished that they had known
what editing was really all about when they were in school’...
Now you can show them – maybe even find a good ‘up and
comer’ for your place.
