New web editor and web content positions...
The list of "Web editors, publishers, and more" at my August 8 blog entry grows today from 38 to 41 with the addition of three new entries:
- Director of Electronic Communications at Bethel University
- Web Editor at Oral Roberts University
- Web Content Manager at Malone College
The new additions were gleaned from the list of people attending the Communication Officers Conference of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan that's taking place right now. Later this morning, I'll be presenting a session on "Writing Right for the Web" and another this afternoon on "Communicating in Today's World: The Challenge of Integrating Print, Web, and Email."
Postions like these are still not common, but let's continue to hope for movement, however slowly, in this direction. Website content and how it is presented to web visitors is the single most important element in the marketing success of your website. If you can make one investment this year in website improvement, add a skilled web writer to your staff.
Increased web writing skills are important for everyone who prepares web content. My next Web Conference on Writing Right for the Web, hosted by Academic Impressions, is Monday, October 1. An outline and registration details are at https://www.academicimpressions.com/web_conferences/1007-web-writing.php
