EP Writing for Interactive Media Forum If only... In Reply to: Shouldn't everyone be edited? posted by Loren Small on November 02, 1996 at 22:35:02: It is not any different to a Vanity Press, as I was attempting to convey by my
reference to Church Magazines. In an ideal world, the answer to your question would be
yes. In most situations, I think that professional writers do indeed pass their work to an
editor. However, a large amount - possibly a majority - of published material on the Web
is not produced by professional writers. The Web is, by and large, an amateur publishing
medium - as are Church magazines. I suppose that the question could be re-phrased as 'any
material written for publication in the public domain'. I think that, in these
circumstances, we would now be entering fascist territory and I would certainly not
condone such draconian measures. No, I welcome the web as a free and open press and if
material needs to bypass an editor then so be it.
