Embedded Files
As the associate editor of The Charger newspaper, it is my job to edit all the articles before they go into the paper. After the staff writer finishes writing, they send that to their beat editors for the first round of editing. They are then sent to me or our other associate, Ellie, for the second round of editing. Finally we share all of them with our editor-in-cheif, Kendall, who gets them fully ready to be published. Editing does come with many challenges as the style of writing in newspaper is much different than all other styles. Although, I do love my role in the newspaper and always am happy to edit any articles that come my way.
This picture on the right shows three articles that articles that I printed out and edited. I found that when I print out the pages, the writer actually learns what needs to be improved instead of just clicking the check button on their computer. I've also noticed that it encourages the writer to come and ask me why I marked things on their paper to once again help them learn from their mistakes.
These two spreadsheets showcase the timesheet that I make for every episode of The Season. Each episode comes with a lot of planning, and this is an essential part of that process. I send this out to all of our editors for that episode and it shows them what they will be working on, how long it needs to be, and occasionally when it needs to be done. Not only does it help my other staff members, it also helps me stay on track and keep everything in the right place.
