In a previous blog posting I discussed the new role for editorial departments and the changing content strategies for many publishers. Towards the end of that posting I mentioned that having too many different processes and authoring tools was a great way spell out the demise of a new content strategy.

Right now the publishing industry is going through a wave change in terms of next generation content strategies. Web content management, and syndication of content is the hot topic these days.

One aspect of this change is the role that editors, writers, and journalists are expected to play in their organizations. While some publishers elect to have an online editorial staff as well as a traditional print staff, most publishers are moving towards the goal of a content platform agnostic editorial group.
