Editing Checklist

Ragan Communications has a nice piece on editing. It includes:

A. First, decide what goes in the publication and what does not.
1. Select stories that help your organization solve its problems.

B. Second, write a communications policy for your publication.
8. Include the purpose of the publication.
9. Specify topics you will and will not cover. This document will be your weapon later on, if and when people question what you are doing.

C. Third, document your work.
13. Thank everyone involved with each issue, in writing, and copy their supervisors.
14. Save all testimonials, and copy your supervisors.
