The Editor will be chiefly responsible for providing as broad and complete coverage as possible of citizen media of Chinese-language media, as follows:
- Recruiting: recruiting authors to cover the countries in their region; for managing authors’ output and editing and publishing posts; and maintaining a regional Google Group.
- Posting to the Global Voices web site:
- 4-6 posts per week. These can either be written by volunteer authors or the Editor, in recognition of the fact that some posts (especially those which need to be translated) require substantial editing.
- 5-10 “updates” per week. These posts can also either be written by volunteer authors or the Editor. They are short and typically include only one link.
- Special coverage: In times of emergency, posting as much as possible, as soon as possible, as needed.
