Yesterday guest speaker Caroline Linton, the online webpage editor for the Daily Beast, was great. She was funny and I know that I and a few others laughed at some of the things she said. I am thankful for the free Newsweek magazine given i’ve never read articles from Newsweek besides what I had for homework. Her description of an editor’s job was good as well and it gave me an idea of what I want to do since i’ve been considering editing instead of reporting. During the newsroom war I got a taste of what it was like to be a managing editor and I have to say it was difficult because I tried to please everyone and put their quotes in the story. Later I spoke to a teacher of mine who’s friend is an editor of a magazine who said, “I know i’m doing my job right if everyone hates me at the end of the day.” Next time I know that its about getting the story done in the most effective way and not about pleasing everyone.
