The editor's last look — Newsroom · Free Press
It is ten minutes before the Mossville Gazette goes to print. As chief editor you run your eye over the page one last time.
Your task
Sort each item: ready to print, or fix it first?
- Before print, editors check names, numbers, dates, quotes, that the headline matches the story and that every side had a fair say.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
- Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
- Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
- Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.
In real life
Many papers have sub-editors or copy editors whose job is this final check, because a mistake in print cannot be quietly removed.
