ABSTRACT
In content strategy, editors face the challenges of editing content for reuse, particularly modular, global, and user-generated content. Since literature on editors’ roles in content strategy is scant, this chapter showcases editors’ roles and provides editor checklists for different types of content. Readers can integrate the checklists into their editing and content strategy workflows or adapt the checklists for classroom use. Activity theory and user experience serve as frameworks to argue that editors in content strategy are best positioned to advocate for authors, organizations, and users and to mediate content, culture, and ever-changing information models and computer technology.
