2. Brain's Trust responses
Responses came with familiar themes. With permission, Esther Koh (Kiwi editor) sent this
Republishing fine when there is an unavoidable reason: sickness or deaths or any unexpected events but find it less acceptable when it is due to busyness. Everyone is busy, uni students and those who are working. I know I have found myself busy but made that commitment to try to write a new article no matter what.
I would prefer for late articles where a writer asks for the weekend to write a new one though the article was due on Friday. As an editor, it puts pressure on me and photo selector to get everything edited in time. Perhaps a new article over the weekend might encourage more fresh articles and lesser republishing. A gentle note that republishing is an option only for unexpected circumstances.
This is an important reflection by Esther - represented by other members of the Brain's Trust - What I find the least responsible of all - is not replying at all when an article is due and not bothering to mention anything, then sending an article way past the deadline without whatsoever explanation - END RESULT - consider if that person should continue as a writer or be ask if they wish to leave. End (to this end five young writers in the past 6 months have left - their own accord - ie even if it was 10 weeks between articles - too much on).
For me. this is as much a pastoral issue. Throwing away an international column and not having your voice 'out there' - isn't what we want for anyone. Should you need to select a previous article - go back 1, 2, 3, 4 ...years. Not a recent article. Proposal - I will send to each Week - 15-17 days out of their due date - and well before your coordinator sends out your reminders, with something like this:
"This is your mid Cycle reminder 15-17 days before article due date FRID 25 June. As you are so very very very good in placing this date - in your diary and on your desk and at your breakfast table - as a reward I am including another pathetic sick dad joke - and here it are ...... "
