Hello! I recently created a draft article about Jennifer Chang, a Cuban-American journalist, Emmy-winning weather anchor, and former NFL cheerleader. The draft covers her journalism and meteorology work, awards, and background. It has been flagged as relevant to WikiProject Journalism. I’d appreciate any feedback or support from editors in this project. The draft is here: Draft:Jennifer Chang

Thank you! Lightmediaeditor (talk) 04:16, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, there’s an ongoing conversation on the talk page that would benefit from more editors, especially those able to check the original German sources.

Asking here as it’s listed as part of this WP. Thanks, Nil🥝^Talk 02:11, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve started reevaluating the importance of the Top importance articles by downrating most people and organizations and elevating key concepts. Does that make sense? Superb Owl (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It makes sense, Superb Owl, in that I understand what you’re saying. And I can easily believe that, say, William Randolph Hearst is less important than, say, Newspaper censorship. But the nonexistence of the latter suggests to me that for potential/actual editors, importance (as you or I might understand it) counts for little or nothing. People tend to write about what’s important to them, i.e. what interests them. — Hoary (talk) 01:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Says “in the first two decades after World War II, most editors of medium and large newspapers in the US still considered their copy boys indispensable to “getting the paper out”.”. Not sure why the quotation makes. The example given is dated 1972, so more than the first two decades.
Hm, I see that some is paraphrased from the source and a bit not actually backed by the source.
No mention of ticker tape. Shouldn’t that be in it? I know that when I was a copy boy in 1959 for The Miami Herald I was running ticker tape until I became the PA to the city editor. I had to fend off society women and the governor. Doug Weller talk 15:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I work for journalist Vicky Ward. I recently rewrote her career section in my sandbox to add many more citations and improve the organization all while removing promotional phrases. I am looking for an editor who can review it and replace the current section if they think it meets all policies and criteria. Since I have a conflict of interest I won’t do this myself, but I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you! Tatianacooper16 (talk) 19:21, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
