Sub Editing Introduction

Humphrey Evans
Content

Sub-editors work with copy coming from writers and reporters to prepare it for publication in their newspaper, magazine or website, linking up with editors, designers, picture editors, production staff and printers to move material from raw copy to finished page.

Actually, these days just about everyone involved with journalism can find themselves expected to edit articles or write headlines so will benefit from understanding what goes into subediting

Through exercises and discussion, participants will pick up the elements of all the basic skills needed for sub-editing. This will include:

  • text handling

  • style

  • spelling and grammar

  • writing strong headlines, standfirsts and captions

  • law for subs

  • proof-reading

  • type

  • the role of the sub-editor


    • Who should attend

    Reporters and other journalists wanting to get to grips with editing; editors wanting to understand what their subs are up to; writers wanting to learn to tighten up their own copy; freelances and staff journalists wanting to widen their job opportunities


    Qualifications
    A desire to pick up sub-editing skills


    Expected learning outcomes

    • Further courses to consider

    Quark XPress – subs tend to be expected to know how to run the machines that publishers use.

    Design – many subs pick up a modicum of layout skills.

    Feature writing – anything that improves your awareness of good writing bolsters your subbing skills.
