It was great that you were able to capture the huge contribution that Teri has made to LTS, but also to explain to others what the role of the Content Editor is. You've really hit the nail on the head about how our team can turn around seemingly quite dull stuff and make it look interesting and exciting.<br />
Since being part of the content team and writing summaries and news items, I now fully appreciate the skill of tabloid subeditors!<br />
I often imagine how they must have a secret dictionary of tabloid headline terms<br />
Eg guy = thug, ned, yob, gangster, vandal, loonie, pervert etc<br />
and they pick the one with the correct number of characters to fit in a headline.<br />
One of the most obscure billboard headlines I ever saw was about the 'parly gravy train'. <br />
Get's you thinking doesn't it?<br />
