Paul Bradshaw provides some excellent steps and resources oriented towards the journalistic side of online communities, although there is lots that is relevant to any community manager.
I wanted to flesh out what exactly a community editor role means when adopted as part of a journalism project. First I need to add a disclaimer: the terms “community editor” (CE) and “community manager” (CM) are used to refer to a very wide range of jobs in a number of industries. I’m not sure what distinction there is – if any – but my hunch is that the title ‘community editor’ has been overtaken by its ‘manager’ variation because it rightly places the focus more on the community than its content.
