Campaigns seem like they might be easier to wean off attachments than journalists, who routinely email documents back and forth to their editor with 'track changes' turned on. But I'm eager to follow up with campaigns in a couple of months and see whether they actually followed the advice.
- discoursism 9y agoMaybe the best thing to do is just ban attachments altogether at the domain admin level? https://support.google.com/a/answer/2364580?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/2364580?hl=en
- closeparen 9y agoWhich journalists? City papers have managed their writing/editing workflows in software specifically meant for newsrooms since long before there were GUIs. Freelancers, maybe?
- pharrington 9y agoIs there a standard workflow for talking to sources?
- closeparen 9y agoNo, but there certainly is for filing stories and running them through a series of editing desks.
- jsmthrowaway 9y agoKeep in mind "journalist" is a broad term now. Most blogs or new media mastheads work that way or track changes in Google Docs/G Suite/whatever. In general, I'd assume you're right about traditional papers, who I'd expect to work the way you suggest. Smart money is following what WaPo is doing in that space with Arc. They've begun to corner that market.
