ABSTRACT

In the digital world the role of subediting is vital. Mark Day of the Australian newspaper says that ‘vastly expanded communications facilities through the internet bring the work of teams of reporters into newsrooms a world away where subeditors, rather than correspondents, pluck out the various elements which make up a story’ (www.theaustralian.news.com.au/printpage/ 0,5942,2421975,00.html).
