One of the difficulties many editors face in their work is isolation from other editors. In the past, there seem to have been more opportunities for sustained learning from experienced editors because there were more editorial departments in organisations. Now, editing tends to be outsourced to individuals on a project basis, and the profession has fragmented in terms of means for mutual support and sustained relationships. However, how we are perceived by clients is a function of our collective professionalism and competence. For our own credibility and sustainability as a profession, we need to support one another to be the best we can be. Electronic communication technology offers a fantastic opportunity to regenerate a sense of community for editors, and Editalk has the potential to become a lively forum for advice, for debate, for the exchange of information — an extended dialogue and collective mentor.

To encourage the development of young editors, we have produced this booklet to serve as a guide to the expectations of news publications around the country. These guidelines are based on materials culled from newspaper tests and the stated expectations of those newspapers. We hope students, professors and others interested in the training of copy editors will use this booklet to learn what newspapers seek when hiring copy editors.

Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards (Section 508)
The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) is issuing final accessibility standards for electronic and information technology covered by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998. Section 508 requires the Access Board to publish standards setting forth a definition of electronic and information technology and the technical and functional performance criteria necessary for such technology to comply with section 508. Section 508 requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, they shall ensure that the electronic and information technology allows Federal employees with disabilities to have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and use of information and data by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.

Enlarge Image in Slide Show, Retaining Quality 
Often when doing a presentation, you may want to enlarge an image using Emphasis: Grow effect in PowerPoint 2002/XP and above. You probably want to show a clearer view of a photograph. But enlarging with the Grow effect often ends up getting the image blurry/jagged. Now it looks ugly, you wouldn't want to show others an enlarged but poor quality picture, do you? When inserting the image, have it at the enlarged size. If you shrink the image and then enlarge it again, the quality will retain. But how do you shrink an image without the audience knowing? See the steps below.
