[Nfb-editors] Question- What staff is needed to producea newsletter

[Tom Scanlan]

I use MS Word mail-merge to print the labels.  The input can be an Excel 
spreadsheet that is easy to maintain.

>> Help me out, others too. In my efforts to know all that it takes to
>> create, produce and distribute a newsletter, I need to know the nature
>> of the staff that this enterprise requires. Yes, it will differ from
>> one publication to another. And sure, the number of people and the
>> tasks that they do will also differ, sometimes out of personal style
>> or lack of helping hands. Write in and tell me of the different types
>> of staffers that you have and give a brief description of what they
>> do. Please and I will keep track of this; a new start-up newsletter
>> will gain from this information.
