The New York Times maintains more than 60 blogs – they are all powered by WordPress and are written by a mix of NYT employees and freelance writers.
Paul Boutin, who writes the gadget blog at the Times, shares how articles get published on NYT blogs.
The Blogging Workflow:
1. If I want screenshots of a website or an app, I either take them myself or ask the people who produce the site, app, upstart rock band or whatever I’m blogging about to send me a few good shots. The screenshot should demonstrate what’s special about the thing I’m writing up, so readers can better grasp the idea.
2. Sam looks at my post in between editing David Pogue’s State of the Art column and shooting how-to videos. Sometimes he replaces my headline. Mostly he tweaks parts of sentences for clarity. Maybe one time in five, Sam asks me to rewrite part of a post or address some aspect he thinks is missing.
3. Someone at the Times’ copy desk looks at the post, and edits any style or grammar errors.
