What preparations should be made for the recruitment of newspaper editors?

To apply for this newspaper in Art editor, I suggest you learn about Art editor's work first, and then make some preparations according to the work content: Art editor's work can be roughly divided into two categories: one is beautification or decoration, which makes the original news material look too monotonous (for example, the original material is just a bunch of numbers), so American editors will add some visual symbols to make the news content look richer. The second is the function of complement. Sometimes, for example, pictures have been provided in the materials provided by news source, but the layout space provided by the text editor is very small. Therefore, Art editor must reduce the scale of the image and enlarge the font in the image, so as to make it easier for readers to read and distinguish. It is worth noting that the sketches drawn by reporters at the interview site are usually plan (bird's eye view). Some Art editor think it is difficult for ordinary readers to understand the plan, so some Art editor will try to turn the two-dimensional plan into three-dimensional when drawing, as long as there is enough time to facilitate readers' understanding. Art editor also pointed out that the three-dimensional image of Gu Ran can improve the participation of newspaper readers, but it may not be able to present events completely. In the process of drawing from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space, the correctness of information will inevitably be checked again. Second, there is not enough interaction between journalists and Art editor. The lack of information provided by reporters can be seen from both quantity and quality: in the process of image design, fact checking is necessary; However, the current situation does not ensure the smooth progress of these tasks. During the interview, many interviewees pointed out that usually, after the original manuscript (contribution from the source, or handwritten manuscript by the reporter) was sent to Art editor's desk, the reporter rarely made any suggestions on image processing. When there is an error in the image itself, it is difficult to detect it. Art editor sometimes found that the required information was incomplete, or there was something wrong with the information provided, so Art editor had to ask the reporter for verification. The chart making time of the evening paper is between 1 1: 00 am and 1: 00 pm, so American editors can find reporters through radio pagers and confirm the questionable parts by phone or fax. However, it is difficult for American editors of daily newspapers to do this. The daily chart making time is between 1 1 p.m. and 1 p.m., at this time, most reporters have already left work, and the data confirmation work is often abandoned because there are no reporters. Secondly, because the education of journalists is different from that of Art editor, they are not easy to communicate. As the Daily News and Art editor are not affiliated with each other, the communication between them is not enough. This gap should have been bridged by on-the-job training or socialization of the editing room. However, in several major newspapers we visited, at least no institutionalized measures were found to bridge the "knowledge gap" between the above-mentioned text editors and American editors (2). Because of this, when a reporter or text editor asks Art editor to link the content of the manuscript with the visual expression, he often feels frustrated because he can't communicate. Art editor has a similar experience with the workers in the text department. As a result, when Art editor encounters any doubt in writing or painting, he tends to speculate or examine himself and paint with his imagination. In this way, the correctness of the image will inevitably be compromised. The second problem is that the time required for surveying and mapping in Art editor is seriously insufficient. At this stage, the image designer screens the information sent by the writer and gives creativity. Therefore, the design stage is the key stage that affects the quality of news images. The production of artistic images, just like the writing of manuscripts, also needs the collection and arrangement of background information, and it takes more time to draw (3). However, we find that the division of labor process implemented by most newspapers at present fails to provide the most needed resource for design work: time. We also found that the drawing instructions issued after editing the layout of the text are usually two or three hours before the deadline. Usually, as an image designer, it is only at this time that he first sees the content of news information. Under the pressure of deadline, it is not easy for Art editor to avoid delaying the publication of the first edition. In this case, if the source provides a draft image, it may become a last resort. From this point of view, the limitation of organizational structure affects the quality of image design.
