The role of digital editor for real-time content is like that of a live-TV producer-involving fact checking, rewriting copy, performing format and design maintenance, editing graphic elements, overseeing an organization's social media outlets, making informed and ethical decisions, managing online platforms, and analyzing success metrics and analytics to measure the effectiveness of their content. Editors manage a variety of web and networked content that should communicate information to audiences clearly, accurately, and effectively. Students will learn to manage web platforms such as Word Press and Moveable Type; be introduced to basic content management systems, learn how to work with writers, graphic designers, and programmers by understanding their restrictions and concerns; perform follow-up research to rate effectiveness of content; and adhere to current industry communication standards. Fulfills requirement: Critical Thinking through Writing. Prerequisite: ENG 112 or FYE 112. 3 credits. |
