COMMUNITY NEWS

EDITOR
SPEAKS TO
ROTARIANS

By JOHN CHARTERS

Castlegar News editor Ron Norman exchanged pen
for podium last Tuesday when he addressed~ the
Castlegar Rotary Club on the topic of The Editorial Eye.

Using a variety of illustrative material, he described
the functions of each of the several departments manned
by the 13 full-time staff members of the local biweekly
paper and headed by publisher Burt Campbell.

Campbell's job, he said, is to act as overall
coordinator and to keep the business financially healthy.

The advertising department, headed by Carol
Magaw, is to solicit and set up the advertising — the life
blood of any newspaper or magazine.

The office staff, led by Linda Kositsin, takes care of
the front end, while the production department headed
by foreman Peter Harvey typesets, pastes up and runs
off the paper twice each week in a complex series of
steps.

The job of the editor and his staff is to gather and
write up the news, proof read, as well as lay out the pages
in as attractive but economical manner as possible,
Norman said.

The primary function of any community paper is to
feature local news, Norman said. Thus, the front page of
the Castlegar News is “always local” — that is the stories
have to do with events and activities which are occurring
in Castlegar or at least in the West Kootenay.

Another of his responsibilities, Norman went on, 1s
writing editorials. He pointed out the editorials are not
intended to be hard and-fast objective news items, but

reaction.

The question period which followed the address was
extensive and searching but had to be terminated when it
exceeded the allotted time.

A number of points were made. They included the

“fact that in its role of reflecting the community. the paper
must be prepared to feature unpleasant news, such as the
vandalizing of the Chapel House on Zuckerberg Island, as
well as “good news.”

RON NORMAN
.. . Castlegar News editor

Since there are many steps involved in publishing
the paper, mistakes are bound to creep in. Norman said it
is not the position of the editor to defend them, but to
admit to honest error and get on with the job.

A newspaper should not take itself too seriously,
Norman said and that's the reason for columns such as
Street Talk and On the Street.

As well, Norman said the editorial office should be
available to interested members of the public. The
newspaper should — and does — cooperate with other
members of the media, for the good of the entire
community

In thanking the speaker, Rotarian Dave Gairns,
praised Norman's professionalism and dedication to his
work,

“I am impressed, as well,” Gairns said, with the
responsibility and availability of the Castlegar News
staff” and indeed with that of the radio and, as well as
their sensitivity and integrity which is so well reflected
throughout the community.

Norman, a graduate in English at Dalhousie
University, worked for a number of years in a number of
other newspapers before taking over the editor's chair at
the Castlegar News in 1981.
