Announcements Process
What should be the workflow of announcements among mailing list, website, and newsletter?
A potential recommendation:
- Announcer drafts news item on website
- Online Editors review, add links, restructure as necessary and publish
- Announcer drafts short email for mailing list with link to website news item
- Newsletter editor pulls and expands upon stories of interest along with longer articles
Another possibility would be for the Online Editor(s) to create a weekly/monthly digest from the news items on the website for broadcasting to the announcements list. This would eliminate step 3 above.
