| missprint | Posted – 1/4/2008 3:58:27 AM | show profile | email poster News assistant jobs tend to be entry-level -- a bit more than copy/pasting but not exactly writing stories either. All the different desks' news assistants perform different tasks, I believe, but they generally are entry or low-level positions and include the things like generating indexes, proofing pages (perhaps Web pages), formatting things, making calls, sending emails, etc. hope that helps a bit |
