EDITING

As Editor-in-chief, I look over everyone's articles and make sure that they are ready to be posted publicly. With the other editors, I have created an editing process. Section Editor, Associate Editor, Editor-in-chief, and the Copy Editor look over everyone's articles (in that order). This process has proven to be effective over the past year and has made the editing process quicker and easier. The editors and I have meetings about once a month to make sure that everyone is on task and things are running smoothly. We also go over concerns and do our best to fix them. I have discussions with Ms. Rose, the journalism teacher, about bigger problems that need help and other issues. I have also helped the journalism staff integrate Flow, a program that shows what assignments are active and which articles editors need to look at. 
Whenever the staff struggles with something, whether it be grammar-related or writing style, I create a presentation to address it. I have grown in my writing and have become skilled in being able to write an article on a tight deadline. Even though I have been in journalism for three years, I still sometimes struggle with grammar and making my words flow. However, I try to improve by researching a certain subject and by taking the advice of the other editors who look at my articles.
