WEDJ Website Job Descriptions
IMPORTANT NOTE: Students who would like to take on leadership roles as managing or copy editors, graphic designers or section leaders are encouraged to complete an application and schedule and interview with Mr. C. as soon as possible!
Managing Editors
Managing editors meet regularly with Mr. C. to determine what types of articles are needed and which student articles should be published (included) on the home page and the individual class pages of the webpage. They advise fellow students on number and types of articles needed. They read and give preliminary approval to all articles before they are submitted to Mr. C. for final approval and inclusion on the website.
Copy Editors
Copy editors assist all students with the mechanics of a well-written article. They schedule “read-alouds” for all students and check all articles for spelling, grammar, and syntax errors. They read and give preliminary approval to all articles before they are submitted to the appropriate managing editor.
Graphic Designers
Graphic designers work with managing editors to determine the design elements of the WEDJ website. They research and suggest potential layout designs for web pages, including but not limited to headings, typeface (fonts and size), photos, videos, graphs, and links.
Section Leaders
Section leaders write “lead” articles for their section, coordinate reporters assignments and check initial quality of the piece before it goes to a copy editor, the managing editor, and finally Mr. C for final approval before publication on the website.
Reporters
All students are reporters and contributors to our school’s class websites. They write all assigned articles, and, with the help of copy and managing editors revise their work until it meets the quality standards needed to be published on the WEDJ website
NOTE: Students who want to serve must apply for these positions by filling out an application form and having an interview with Mr. C. Every student will be contributing reporters for their class website.
