Workflow Chart for Online Editorial Gets Update

A simple, but effective visual guide to the increasingly non-linear news process has been updated by digital consultant Amy Webb, who first developed it several years ago to show newsrooms how the Internet’s myriad feedback loops could help generate more news and content for their sites.

The workflow chart shows how content can be reported, edited, published and “propagated” in an endless cycle of commentary, feedback, and additional stories. The new version now factors in developments such as the growth of geo-social networks like Foursquare and recommendation engines like Publish2, as well as the overwhelming popularity of real-time publishing sites like Twitter and Facebook.

You can download the chart here or via Scribd or Webb’s Knowledgewebb site. UPDATE: The workflow chart is also available in Spanish and Portuguese (and soon Japanese).
