During my first few weeks as graphics producer, I did not realize how many online stories the web department churned out each day and at first was overwhelmed and felt like my fingers couldn't type fast enough to keep up with the amount of content. On Monday, we have an awesome web team and so copy editing has not been that challenging. It's usually simple corrections such as AP style and how a web news article differs from a fun broadcast story. I learned my first week as well which order to write the news stories in and to get the biggest or 'newsiest' story out first.
So far during my time as graphics producer, I have learned a lot of valuable web technique and how to use the website in general. i think this aspect of the class is very resourceful and useful because I will definitely need to know how to do all this at a job in the future. I hope by the time this semester is over that I will not only be a lot faster at putting up web articles and copy editing, but also that I have a better understanding of the website.
