Technical editing in transition: editors wanted for intranet site development

J. Bocchi

Abstract

Because of the changing nature of today's corporations and their distributive information systems, editors are in the right place and time to influence the development and management of Web based publishing systems within their companies. Technical editors possess unique skills that could be adapted for editing and administering intranets-company wide information publishing systems relying on Internet technology. The article encourages editors to take an active role in developing intranet systems at their companies and suggests strategies for doing so. Editors will benefit from the discussion of the importance of intranet "publishing" in today's changing business climate.
