A week in the Washington area learning how to be a better editor was well worth it.
By: Hank Kalet
OK. I’ve been a little remiss away in Washington for a week and far too many things to attend to when I returned.
I attended a seminar on editing the weekly newspaper sponsored by the American Press Institute, a real eye opener for me. I’ve been doing this a long time and think I’m pretty good at it. But, man, there is nothing like getting a bunch of committed journalists in one place and having them reconsider what it is they do.
I’d recommend it for anyone working in newspapers. Watch tomorrow for an Editor’s Note from me explaining some changes in the paper that come from the seminar.
