New web editor position... Fairfield University
A new position has just been added to the August 8 list of web editors and web writers. That raises to 37 the number of schools included.
Thanks to Jill Caseria at Fairfield University for sending along her title of Web Managing Editor.
From questions asked at recent presentations and from a late day phone call yesterday, I've been reminded recently of how difficult it can be to find someone with web writing expertise. From my own perspective, the best background includes experience in direct marketing copywriting. Journalism is also good preparation. And at the CASE IV district conference last week, someone added writing for broadcast new reporting to the list.
As a friend said recently, "Writing a traditional press release and posting it to a website does not a web writer make."
These "experience profiles" help make the point that the web is not a place for people to write classic great literature. Reading on the web isn't easy to do. And that awareness continues to spread so that more and more web content is gradually becoming "web friendly."
Congratulations to Fairfield for helping to move things in the right direction, one school at a time.
