editor evolved editor evolved this is the archived edition of a blog first titled copy massage kept from sept 4 2003 to june 4 2007 by clay wirestone the original description twentysomething editor designer reviewer blogger cartoonist clay mccuistion muses on copy editing and the changing media landscape sunday april 10 2011 attempt at introduction this blog closed nearly four years ago reflects a particular time and space in journalism events in the intervening years have made much of what i wrote seem quaint to summarize for several years in the early 2000s it seemed as though print and online worlds could cozily coexist the general line in newsrooms at the time was that online products would supplement but never replace the printed newspaper publications across the country still employed scores of copy editors to polish stories and write headlines there are still copy editors of course and there are still printed newspapers but there are fewer of each few have written off print entirely but there s a growing understanding that much journalism of the future will be experienced in an online connected environment and the job of the copy editor as i understood it as copy editors understood it has morphed into something else entirely style mistakes can now be fixed after publication online headlines likewise can shift many editors were already designing pages when i wrote this blog now many are updating websites learning about databases and writing web optimized headlines thus when i go through these entries i see post after post dealing with ephemera it s fun ephemera to be sure and worthwhile on its own terms but in today s news media landscape it seems quaint the blog shifted over its four years its original title copy massage changed to editor evolved i still think a blog with the title and mission of editor evolved has a place but i m more interested in the experience than the documentation these days i wrote many posts dealing with the shifts that even then were taking place but many more posts dissected style errors called out wrongdoers and otherwise splashed around the nascent evolutionary pools of the blogosphere please treat them gently they come from a different world you won t find every single copy massage and editor evolved post here a handful seemed too mean tacky or slight to retain and as an editor it has been difficult to resist tweaking a headline here or a phrase there if you want to see how things went down at the time check out archive org that s enough from me my personal website clayfiles com features recent creative work by yours truly my facebook and twitter accounts contain updates on my daily wanderings stay focused alert and creative readers deserve no less posted by clay w at 4 10 2011 friday july 3 2009 conversion attempts please bear with me as i resurrect this blog editor evolved is a bit of a time capsule but i ve decided against consigning it to the past altogether all five years worth of posts will appear as i uncover them in my archives and archive org s caches links may not work all will straighten itself out in time posted by clay w at 7 03 2009 monday june 4 2007 newspaper of the future pt 2 i ll add a few points to the list i started yesterday i ll start with an obvious one 8 it may not be on paper at all it may be on some sort of portable device newspaper publishers have invested for years in flexible e paper displays that feel like newsprint but update like websites none of the projects have come to fruition yet 9 its readers may not be united by geography they may be a community of interest or enthusiasm 10 it will shift and evolve rapidly as its readers needs shift and evolve posted by clay w at 6 04 2007 sunday june 3 2007 newspaper of the future my predictions wishes in list form 1 it will have fewer pages and be physically smaller perhaps tabloid in size 2 it will have longer articles that offer more in depth reporting an analysis 3 it will be precisely targeted either in terms of geographical area or interest 4 it will have a vivid voice which will provoke reader reaction 5 it will be sleekly designed 6 it will have a web component that will complement not duplicate its contents 7 it will either be free or more expensive than today s papers posted by clay w at 6 03 2007 tuesday may 15 2007 not just romenesko of course i don t want to give the impression that jim romenesko s sins are his alone other journalists are just as guilty they write about the new york times or the washington post and present the struggles they find as the struggles of the industry please the news media contains many industries and does many things it serves many markets reporters and editors and photographers and bloggers exist in cities other than new york and d c their work will continue whatever becomes of the name brand institutions posted by clay w at 5 15 2007 monday may 14 2007 is romenesko bad for journalism jim romenesko s site harms the news media let me say that again in case any of you missed it jim romenesko s site harms the news media it s not the only negative force of course but that doesn t excuse it let me take a step back and acknowledge that i like everyone else in journalism today can t help but read romenesko s media news blog i began in the summer of 2001 and continued for years but i want to stop here s the basic reason why romenesko keeps us from doing our jobs that s bad bad bad journalism derives its credibility from covering the news that affects everyday people journalism s basic function is providing accurate information and communicating it in a pithy way romenesko interferes with that function his blog focuses on individuals who work in the media so the focus shifts from the stories we do to the people who cover the stories who cares about beat reporting let s debate the importance of katie couric or bill keller self involved check a distraction check romenesko also presents the national media as an entity if its on his blog it s news so a plagiarizing college reporter sits beside a disgraced media executive a reassigned columnist and some nonprofit report what do these things have to do with each other nothing except appearing on romenesko that s enough they also divert our attention from a central point of journalism it s local if you don t work at the new york times washington post wall street journal or usa today and that covers the vast majority of active journalists if you can believe it your primary job is covering your particular area its personalities its disputes its very nature experts in the field say local coverage is the key to news organizations survival but who needs an expert to tell you that if you purchase a newspaper or visit a local website you want to know what s happening around you that also means that the business side of journalism is primarily a local business some papers and sites continue to do well in that local business but you wouldn t know that from the constant doom and gloom on romenesko yes outside forces buffet journalism but there have always been threats to our mission and news folks kept doing their jobs romenesko threatens that the blog portrays a single monolithic journalistic entity plodding aimlessly toward its own destruction then it provides a forum for people to complain about that plodding then people complain about the complainers what does this have to do with journalism nothing poynter i m looking at you 2010 update ha oh my i still think some of my points here stand up but of course jim romenesko s site isn t bad for journalism it may indeed distract folks but so does visiting youtube from a remove of three years i d say that jim was in his way covering an important story the news media of the time was too self involved that has changed folks are finally buckling down and doing the work of creating a new vibrant media landscape and that s a good thing posted by clay w at 5 14 2007 wednesday
