Online journalists need same skills as editors
The EditTeach Web site posts results of a survey of more than 400 online managers and producers. Rich Gordon, who supervised the research, writes in a column for Poynter Online that the most important lesson was that "the traditional journalism job that most resembles online newsroom roles is that of copy editor. What online newsrooms need are people who have news judgment and can copy edit, write headlines, package and present content on a page."
