The New Citizen Editors
At Editor & Publisher, Steve Outing, senior editor at the Poynter Institute, writes a fairly meaty piece about a new job in the news business, "citizen editor" (New Desk in the Newsroom: The Citizen Editor's)
What exactly is a "citizen editor"? "In a lot of ways, it's unlike any other job in the newsroom," says Rich Gordon, chair of Newspapers and New Media at Northwestern University's Medill School and the faculty advisor for GoSkokie.com, an experimental student-run citizen-journalism website set up to serve the city of Skokie, Ill. "The job isn't to find stuff out and package it; it's to solicit other people to provide information and encourage interactivity among your [online] users."
