Staff Editors Discussion
- proposal was introduced to have staff editors to be responsible for editing all products from WG
- this would include Newsletter, EPA, and Client Services
- Assignments will be asked to complete editing tasks based on deadlines and subject matter
- Reason for proposal is to prevent friction with finding last minute editors for CS or Newsletter pieces. Also to improve quality of published content for EPA.
- This would change the workflow of the EPA. Not so much for CS and Newsletter. They would use the EPA for editors if necessary.
- Some pushback on Newsletter and CS using staff editors. Then everything would flow through the EPA, isn’t that centralizing all writing?
- It sounds like Frank and Sidd would prefer to have set, established editors to work on pieces for CS and Newsletter so they can avoid doing those tasks themselves.
- Implement, y/n?
- Who wants to be a staff editor? How many staff editors should there be? Should we have some kind of voting process?
- If you want to be a staff editor, please add your name here:
- links: I’m interested, depending on time commitment
- Trewkat
- Ap0ll0 will refrain from being a staff editor since he’s already a role holder. He’s doesn’t want to monopolize any potential earnings that others could earn.
- If you want to be a mentee of a staff editor, please add your name here:
- Payment structure
- Set seasonal salary or per-article? Or some kind of hybrid?
- links: personally in favour of a hybrid model - pay per article and have a smaller seasonal salary for mentoring
- Nonsense believes we should still function in the way we intended when we submitted our funding requests
- But start to implement this new workflow to determine a fair remuneration rate - based on workload
- Workshops, mentorships, and up-skilling new editors.
- How will staff editors manage their editing flow? Content and copy editor flow, like we’ve been doing? Or something completely different?
