Specialist Editor Jobs description

Specialist editors are responsible for creating and/or acquiring content for websites, email newsletters, newspapers, newscasts, online communications media such as podcasts, and other publications.

In the case of online media, specialist editors will deal with online content that can take many forms, including plain text, links, database content, still images(illustrations, photographs, diagrams), animation, audio, video, interactive devices (forms, forums, chat rooms, polls, questionnaires, etc.). The main responsibility of the specialist editor here will be the creation or acquisition of verbal content (primarily textual but also audio), although a close relationship with other media specialists, such as graphic designers, will almost certainly be required.

In the case of a website project, there are two main parties – website owners and specialist developers, who will both act as specialist editors. Website owners are typically responsible for strategic direction, audience research, editorial policy and content ownership. Specialist developers are typically responsible for project management, information design, providing creative services (graphics, sound, video, etc.) and providing technical services (systems design, programming, etc.).

In most cases, the responsibilities of a specialist editor may be integrated within a more general role such as marketing specialist or journalist, or be extended to include some technical or creative responsibilities (such as website authoring or graphic design).

Although a specialist editor is unlikely to be primarily responsible for design and development of a website, he/she will however contribute an important user-orientated perspective to the process.
