I had to take a publishing break. This is a continuation of the previous posting. The four points of the convergence compass-- print, video, online & mobile New roles in Newsrooms-- the jobs/titles Newsflow coordination

Newsflow editor

News editor

Multimedia editor. Different meanings, e.g. Chicago Trib vs. Tampa Trib. In Tampa, they expected this job to be temporary and the job would migrate to everyone, but this is not happening in practice.

Convergence editor

Multiskilled journalist. Knows characteristics of media to use content and formats for most effective use to tell story. Understands tech to enable newsgathering, distrib via print, video, online & mobile

Story builder. An evolved copy/sub-editor is a lynchpin of the multimedia storybuilding process, fashioning stories across media bundaries and packaging stories for multimedia. Not just putting liner text in line, is building story elements--probably you would only do this for 5 or 6 stories per edition. Copy editor now acts like quality control--brought in at last step. Story builder moves this job to front-end to add quality to build story, create story, not just making sure the final thing is readable.

Newsroom Editor. The cross-media manager orchestrates the multiple media newsroom process and assigns multimedia stories from desk.

News resourcer. The informatic journalist wields all of the tools of the information landscape by accessing info thru dbases, computer-assisted reporting, story contextualization and deep researching, and functions as the newsroom's chief info officer.
