After  making  the  assignment,  the  associate  editor writes it on the master assignment sheet, which should be placed in a central location in the editor’s office. The master  assignment  sheet  can  be  designed  like  the  one shown in figure 7-3. If you prefer a larger format, you can convert the sheet to a master assignment board using a chalkboard, dry marker board or a large piece of plastic or  plexiglass.  In  offices  with  LAN  word  processing computer  systems,  assignments  can  be  listed  (without paper) in a master document via electronic mail. COPY LOG The associate editor should maintain a copy log, similar in format to the master assignment sheet. The copy log, however, is a list of stories already done and ready for layout in the paper. TRAINING The training (and cross-training) considerations discussed in Chapter 1 apply to your newspaper staff as well. Cross-train your editors (sports, leisure, classified ads, and soon) about once a year. Make sure the sports editor, in addition to writing sports stories, is given several opportunities to write straight news stories during his tour in the department. Similarly, the leisure editor should be competent in news and sports writing. It is important that you make cross-training a habit. NEWSPAPER STAFF CREDENTIALS Issue  credentials  to  all  newspaper  staff  members.  A typical  credential  consists  of  a  black-and-white photograph with the individual’s name, organization Figure  7-3.-Master  assignment  sheet. 7-9
