First Editors Meeting

All the editors got together today for out first little "meeting". Which was basically a tut on how to use the news portal, which is actually quite a tricky business. I am taking on the role of copy-editor whilst Ches is going to be more in charge of the site itself.

Topic chosen

The topic that has been decided on is the Street Name Changes issue in Durban. I'm pleased with the choice, because I feel it is an interesting and relevant topic for us to do. Having said that - now that we are underway with it - it could be quite a tricky topic. The main focus behind the entire issue has a lot to do with individual opinion, and we must now find a variety of different topics to research. And in particular our group (tut 3) falls under the sub-topic of History and Identity. Myself and Ches have been nominated as editors... let me rephrase that - Ches volunteered his and my services towards the editing roll. The group is supposed to have a digital copy of their stories ready for this tut on Thurs (13/09/07), I have my doubts as to whether everyone will pull through, but I remain hopeful.
