NEWSROOM

Staffing the newsroom is a bit like manning a ship. You need a strong captain at the helm and all hands on deck. If all members of staff know exactly what they're supposed to do, then publishing a paper is a breeze. Here's an overview of the key people involved in the newspaper production process.

The adviser

The adviser is a teacher who doesn't actually run the newspaper, but gives valuable tips to the editors when necessary and approves each issue before it is printed.

The editor-in-chief

The editor-in-chief has overall responsibility for the content of the newspaper. He also steers everyone in the right direction, making sure they know what to do and when. The editor-in-chief needs to be a good leader and must be able to write, edit and organise things. He also needs to be able to make decisions.
