RE: How I Got On Steemit—The Short And Long Of It
Ohhh you did mention that you were a small business owner and now you release the info that you own a paper.
I could definitely see you in the editor's chair, crossing out articles and asking people to rewrite it while you are doing the layout.
Made me miss my old college days while working on articles,doing lay outs and being a gopher to my editors.
Steemit is a great introductory to the cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology
I owned (emphasis on the past tense) two very small weekly newspapers. For well over a year I owned three, and for about a week I owned four. I had a partner at the time and the partner decided one day he didn't want a partner anymore, so we ended up with two newspapers each.
I was only in the editor's chair for a couple of years, then we hired other people to do it. Having people rewriting articles while I was doing layout would have been too late for the articles to get in that week, so that would have not been good. It was a miracle we filled those pages at all and a testament to our reporters and our editor.
I much preferred layout over editing anyway. Layout was like a puzzle to be solved. Editing can be really fast and easy, and it also be like slogging through mud. Depended on the reporter.
