This document discusses how editorial processes have both changed and remained the same for publishing on the web compared to traditional publishing. Some differences include shorter attention spans, non-linear structures, inclusion of multiple media, and greater outreach potential online. However, some aspects are still the same, like the need for multiple languages, meeting deadlines, and maintaining trust and credibility. The author also reflects on their organization's experience with both complementing and facing challenges of web publishing, but that it allows for greater reach if properly planned and supported.
