Few media ever go away. They just step sideways to accommodate new ones.

So how do we remain relevant?
![Page 11: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
(1)Know that we will be
measured.
![Page 12: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“There are no lies / When you see that look in their eyes” - Fastball, “Warm, Fuzzy Feeling” (1998)
![Page 13: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Watch Metrics• Many editors now check visitor and pageview
reports every day• Some as much as every 15 minutes (!)• On-the-fly testing: multivariate testing on heds• Leeway given to editorial-mission coverage
![Page 15: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Set Targets• Shoot for continuing growtho E.g., MMW: 52% YOY growth in UVs, 83% in PVs,
41% in time spent
• Performance integrated into annual reviews, even financial incentiveso Use this FOR you! E.g., in pay raise discussionso You = content = more web traffic = more $
![Page 16: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More PVs, UVs (1) Check our egos
(2) Become fastidious number-checkers
(3) Learn from the monster number-gatherers- e.g., if your own tradeshow is gathering the most PVs, maybe there’s an editorial idea there
![Page 17: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
More PVs, UVs (4) Clarity over cute – write heds that could be translated into another language and still be meaningful
(5) Use numerals
(6) Get to the point – quick
(7) Link out. Try to get links in.
![Page 18: ASBPE Webinar: 10 Trends That Could Make (or Break) Our Editorial Careers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/548583aab4af9fbf218b4851/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

“co-creative” with our audiences’.

piece.• Gather and disseminate content in real-time, as a
constantly moving ‘slipstream.’• Make use of every bit of content around you.• Cut mercilessly. If it’s not generating interest,
advertisers, or industry leadership – why do it?• Demonstrate and prove your worth.
