HURRICANE KATRINA ACES donates to two disaster-relief funds for journalists; you can help, too The ACES national board has contributed a total of $2,000 to two relief funds for journalists directly affected by Hurricane Katrina: Friends of The Times-Picayune and the Knight Ridder Fund Inc. We also have donated clothing and other items to our colleagues at The Times-Picayune who had to evacuate New Orleans without so much as a change of clothes. Rather than set up a separate fund, ACES decided to contribute to existing relief funds. We encourage our members to contribute to any effort they choose. A list of journalism-related relief efforts can be found on the Web site of the Council of National Journalism Organizations, www.cnjo.org ACES CHAPTERS Sign up for a regional workshop near you!

The Lot of Journalism's Noble Misfits C opy editors check written material, usually as the final step before it is set into type, to correct errors in grammar, spelling, usage and style (in this case, style refers to a given publication's guidelines for consistency in how words, phrases, typographical elements, etc., are to be used or not used). Copy editors are not proofreaders , although reading proofs is often part of the job description. The difference is that proofreaders (a job title that scarcely exists anymore) are charged with simply looking for typographical and mechanical errors on copy that has already been typeset. Proofreaders and, indeed, copy editors reading proofs are often criticized rather than praised for making picky changes at that stage in the process, whereas the same changes might well be applauded at the copy-editing stage. This is probably less true of copy editors in other fields, but newspaper copy editors are expected to be fully qualified journalists. Just as judges are lawyers, astronauts are pilots and FBI agents are cops, newspaper copy editors are reporters first. Many, probably most, of us have actual reporting experience, and those who don't are expected to at least have basic reporting skills. It used to be that copy editors were often burned-out (or even

Testy Copy Editors Newspaper copy editors and their fans talk shop. 03:31:17 am, Categories: Articles , 521 words Standards By Mary Ellen Slayter The bloggers are coming! The bloggers are coming! And it looks like they all dropped their dictionaries. Should copy editors pick them up? From what I've seen purporting to be "citizen journalism" online, I sure hope so. Copy editing is at the heart of the discipline of verification that separates journalism from mere gossip, and yet I keep hearing that we're just a bunch of control freaks out to ruin the party. Far from bringing about the death of the blogosphere, thorough editing is what can save it from collapsing into inflammatory gibberish and what will make it possible for mainstream media companies to incorporate the best features of blogging into their brands. But first we have to stop acting like blogs are different from any other "content delivery method," which the bloggers love reminding us that our boring old newspapers are after all. Blogs are not any different. Entertainment is one thing, but online journalism still relies on the same principles of accuracy, fairness and clarity that we strive for every day in the newspaper. Copy editors are a crucial part of that in print, and they will become more so online as the medium matures. Second, we have to stop hiding behind language about liability. It doesn't matter if the courts rule that a blogger is responsible for his words, not the media company that publishes them. That is not a question of liability. It's one of credibility, our most valuable commodity. Regardless of what the fine print says, if your newspaper is hosting an amateur blog filled with libelous comments,horrid writing, unverified rumors and mundane nonsense, that content will be associated with your masthead, and it will damage it.

18. Words For Copy Editors A list of terms (defined) that copy editors use in their work. http://www.well.com/user/mmcadams/words.html

A Spelling Test Reference Books Web Links Magazine Copy Editing Words About Words To communicate about their work, copy editors use a number of terms that most people forgot after their last course in English composition (or maybe never knew at all). In addition to knowing how to make a poor sentence better, a copy editor has to be able to defend his or her decisions to writers, editors, and fellow copy editors. That means being able to talk the talk. This list also provides a good indication of the errors that copy editors commonly catch and correct. antecedent A word, phrase, or clause to which a pronoun refers, usually (but not always) one that precedes the pronoun. Gary lives in the suburbs and commutes to his job in the city. Gary's job is unpleasant because it requires that he deal with rude and surly people. A possessive is not an appropriate antecedent: Gary's job is a 45-minute commute from his home. EDIT: Gary has a 45-minute commute to his job. EDIT: Gary's job is a 45-minute commute from home.
