The Editor’s Desk

Thoughts on editing for print and online media

This week’s misc.

  • Ted Vaden, public editor at The News & Observer, discusses the use of racial identification in news stories. Vaden appropriately touches on the themes of relevance and utility in making those decisions. Not everyone, however, is convinced, considering that someone compared Vaden to Stalin in the first comment.
  • C. Michael Curtis, editor of fiction and letters to the editor at The Atlantic, discusses editing, writing and teaching in this interview.
