A clear message

Getting down to work PART TWO:

Content: Balance of stories Judge every story on its own merits Mindset of the reader: John Jones at no.52. The pub test. Bringing stories to life- human stories, fact boxes, case studies.

What makes a story?

Your views? Information on policies How you can be involved Competitions Tenant group and member news Advertising (dates and events) Progress reports Details about other organisations Useful tips eg energy-saving, debt advice

Regular features To develop an identity and become known by reader. Need to keep them fresh. Eg recipe corner, day in the life, behind the scenes, competitions.

Copywriting – your role Plain English test. Helping collate information. Finding examples. Judging whether a story is relevant. Identifying any gaps. Proof-reading. Point of contact for the copywriter.

Images Photography v illustrations Don’t forget your camera! Spreading the word Tips on the kind of images

Design checklist Does it work? Is it clear? Do you like the images? Is the balance and ordering right?

Summary Strong editorial group can make a real difference. Fine balance to strike between content, design and images. The group is the eyes and ears of the publication. Getting people on board is key. Enjoy it!

Conclusion An editorial group is constantly evolving. Important to keep an eye on what others are doing. Listen to what’s going on around you between meetings. Know your aims and you’re on the right track. Don’t be afraid to make suggestions.
