Web Writing... 48 Web editors, publishers and more
Mountains are moving when new position titles begin to emerge, reflecting the reality that websites are best viewed as publications and publications need editors and publishers and writers to make them work best. How many "web editors" existed just a few years ago? Not many, for sure.
Today, the landscape is changing. That's great news for anyone who uses websites regularly. Content is becoming more relevant. It is becoming easier to read. And it is becoming easier to engage in ongoing communication with the people who produce it. Higher education websites are coming alive.
To encourage the changes already taking place, I've created here a list of titles that emphasize copy and content in some way. The original list was built almost entirely from people who registered for my Writing for the Web seminars for CASE in February 2006 and for Academic Impressions in August 2006. About 397 colleges and universities registered for one of those sessions. That was encouraging at the time and this list has been growing ever since then.
If your college hasn't yet caught the spirit, best wishes that it will happen soon.
If your college should be listed here, send me the information at bob@bobjohnsonconsulting.com
