I love every second of it, although it means my other writing doesn't get much attention. I *think* I'm learning a lot from it and especially like coming up with new intros and headlines. I haven't done any of my own stories of course - it's all editing and rewriting at the moment, and a bit of page layout. I love magazine journalism.

I'm talking about only print journalism here. The top editor is the Editor-in-chief. He/she is held responsible for the published content. The Managing Editor is responsible for the budget of the publication. The News Editor is the person who chooses stories and allocates space. Remember that he/she is not held responsible for content though. The Readers' Editor deals with complaints and also acts ...

The government beat can seem like a soul-sucking task to many reporters, particularly those who have a more creative bent. There are not a lot of creative juices flowing as you sit through endless hours of board meetings, wade through countless pages of legalese legislation or try to pull straight answers out of a politician. ...

They are generally written by the copyeditor or subeditor. The type size of the headline depends upon the importance of the news story. It is the headline that "sells" the story and should stimulate the reader into reading the story below it. It should be sharp and convey the essence of the story. Here are some do's and dont's for writing headlines: 1. The headline should speak 2. It should be active (voice) and positive 3. ...
