Survey report at annual AAACE meeting. "About 40 per cent of the county extension agents now furnish extension information to their local newspapers regularly, only a very few altogether neglecting to do so, but there is a distinct need for editorial training for agents." Among the training means proposed: journalism courses for prospective agents while in college, state news-writing training meetings held by the college editor for county agents, correspondence courses in news writing, and bulletins on news writing.

James F. Evans Collection; See also C02992, Mimeographed, 1988. 4 p. Paper presented at the Second Annual Technical Communication Conference; 1988 October 15; St Louis, MO., Introduction of desktop publishing (DTP) technology into our full-service communications office has presented a number of new management problems as traditional roles and the working relationship between designers and editors are being redefined. This paper (1) examines that relationship; (2) identifies some of those problems; (3) discusses the steps we've taken to manage the application of DTP to a variety of projects - from simple brochures, newsletters, and fact sheets to larger, more complex publications that traditionally were typeset; and (4) identifies areas of ongoing concern as we look back on our less-than-idyllic honeymoon period and attempt to renegotiate terms for happily continuing the partnership between editor and designer.

"Little of the burning fever of research is rampant in the association. The paper on research submitted by V.R. Sill of Ohio met with no direct response. Mr. Sill observed: Perhaps they thought we wanted compliments when we asked for criticism."
