REMEMBER!
• The set-up we discussed a while ago about picking the adviser or the moderator is the
traditional set-up. The campus journalism act, has a different basis for choosing the adviser.
Selecting an adviser is also optional for the tertiary level.

• There are other members of the staff who may simply be appointed: the typist, the layout
artist, the staff artist, the photojournalist and the circulation manager.

• A journalist (also called a newspaper man) is a person who practices journalism, the
gathering and dissemination of information about current issues.
SOME qualities of editor
• A cool head. The ability to work in an atmosphere of excitement and
hurry without becoming flustered or incapable of accuracy. 
• Quickness of thought — coupled with accuracy.
• Keenness, conscientiousness and ruthlessness — rightly used.
