Articles
One important article is reproduced below. It concerns the resignation of the current editor
I have been editing the Greens Norton News for around 10 years. Unfortunately, I have been quite ill for the last year. The NHS have been brilliant and I have returned to a good condition after being lodged in the intensive care unit at NGH after a particularly nasty crisis. However I have decided to ease down in case I have another crisis. I am resigning after the June edition, the next edition will be the October edition. This is what I currently do:
- I provide advice to anyone who writes an article.
- If I discover someone who is doing something interesting, then I try to persuade them to write an article or be interviewed by me.
- I collect all the articles that have been submitted together with any announcements, for example by the 50+ organisation.
- I liaise with the copy editor of the Greens Norton News (GNN), currently Liz Crussel, who then edits the articles.
- The next step is for me to pass Liz’s edited articles and any announcements to our designer (Martin Tolley) who then passes me back the designed GNN for my comments. At this point there is normally very little for me to say. I pass the issue back to Martin with the list of headlines for the front page.
- Martin then passes me the final version which I then send to the printers.*
- I send the electronic edition of the GNN to those who prefer it to the paper edition.*
- It usually takes about a week for three large boxes to arrive with the printed copies.
- The printed copies are then bundled up into batches by Michelle Hiscutt and Ann Wilcox to give to the distributors. I am replacing Michelle.*
- I administer the web site for the GNN.*
- I send two copies of each issue to the national libraries.*
This is roughly what I do. I am supported by an amazing editorial team who do the vast majority of the work; regard me as the captain of the ship!
It is worth talking to me or texting me so that I can answer any questions.
When we have a replacement, I would be happy to carry out mentoring for a time.
The items marked with an asterisk will be activities I will be carrying on.
