MAPinc needs volunteer editors This could be a great opportunity for some DrugWarRant readers with a little extra time. MAP is a great resource for the drug policy reform community, but can't exist without the people who actually sort through all the incoming drug policy articles. Here's a note from MAP's Senior Editor Richard Lake: As many of you know last year we lost prolific volunteer editors Elizabeth Wehrman and Derek Rea. The passing of Beth was recognized here http://drugsense.org/url/8xJbSdlF and Derek here http://drugsense.org/awards/norml2008.htm Another previously prolific volunteer editor has cut back on his volunteer work for medical reasons. The result is that over 95% of the articles posted during the last 15 days have been edited by Jay Bergstrom and Richard - a total of 435 articles. Both are struggling to keep up the pace. In the last year Jo-D Harrison has extensively updated our editor training system. We desperately need more volunteer editors. We are both ready to assist any volunteers. The work of being a volunteer editor is rewarding. The amount of work each volunteer does is completely under their control. Please, if you or anybody you know would like to explore being a volunteer editor contact Jo-D at jo-d@mapinc.org or Richard at rlake@mapinc.org Thank You. 12:20:51 AM | drug policy | Related  | permalink | comment []
