I have finished with the editing!

After a good few hours of reading and editing I have finally finished all that I needed to do. A couple of the stories needed only minor editing if any at all. There were another two which needed slightly more but fundamentally they were solid articles. There was one that required a virtual rewrite, luckily I was up for it and now it is fine. Job Done!

Final Essay Brief and Bibliography

I Have done the brief of my essay as well as the bibliography that are both due tomorrow. I have decided to take the side of "the Internet does promote democracy". There are very good reasons for both sides of the argument and I reckon it would probably be easier to argue that it did in fact promote democracy. I had originally felt that the essay would be more interesting for me to write and for the reader if I took the opposite stance, but I decided to stick with the easier option.

Editing for the first phase completed.

I have finished the copy-editing for the first phase of the news portal. The articles on the whole were very good, unfortunately one of them had a fair amount of plagiarism which had to be edited or removed; I also added a citation to the article of the site where the content originated. The portal itself I think is looking very nice with its new theme, well done to Ches and Maxine for that.
Just to end off this post I found this picture of colonial Durban that I think depicts Grey Street in its younger days:

Editorial work as a copy editor

I have started to do the editing of the articles on the news portal. The standard of the work is pretty good of what I've seen so far. I've just changed a few things to make the articles a little more coherent and sorted out the odd typo, but on the whole I have been pleasantly surprised.
