WEEK 7

Hello everyone.

EDITORS:
Just an FYI for the editors: In case you didn't hear, I've hired my former student and SAC.Media EIC Melody Waintal as my web expert to solely work on our website. She is currently a student at USC Annenberg where she was hired to work on their website -  also in partnership with the Washington Post and powered by Arc Publishing. I am hoping she will be able to work out our bugs. Please take the time to go over our site and make a list of the things you notice that are not working properly, or that you think can be improved.

Also, editors must participate in pitch meetings each week. I need to know how many of you are available on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. If that time doesn't work for you, please leave a Slack message as to what time on Tuesday does work. This only applies to EICs, managing editors, and section editors of SAC.Media.

Also, editors and contributors will find a checklist on their computers when they arrive on Tuesday. We will discuss this at a mandatory editorial board meeting at noon on Thursday, This meeting is just for editors.

This week, we will have a workshop on promoting your stories since I don't see everyone posting stories on SAConScene. Every single story that is published needs to be posted with a short tweet and link to your story. If you do not have access to sign into Twitter, please ask ASAP.

I will also need to get all editors on Arc Publishing. If you do not have privileges, please let me know. This requires you to have a short bio and photo.

CONTRIBUTORS/BEAT EDITORS/PHOTOGRAPHERS

You will need to see me on Thursday to sign a contract as to what is expected of you for your grade.

We need to have a brainstorming session this week with section and beat editors. I will join your teams to help get the juices flowing, and to help guide you to finding stories.

See you on Thursday.
