Editorial support and content development Sample Clauses

Editorial support and content development. The editorial component is of major importance. It involves providing support for editorial activities carried out by GSA in the field of websites as well as wide range of online and printed publications and information tools. This includes drafting texts suited to the requirements of numerous target audiences. For most products this requires journalistic working methods such as researching for a human-touch perspective, success stories, conducting interviews, etc. often under very short deadlines. The tenderer must demonstrate convincingly that they possess a thorough knowledge of European Union space and/or transport policies and the editorial know-how to target numerous audiences. This category of tasks involves: a) Gathering and compiling information and data: proposing outlines and editorial concepts, journalistic research for information on specific subjects from sources identified or delivered by the GSA, or from other sources, interviewing subjects, compiling raw material, reading and analysing documents, monitoring of various online and printed media. b) Writing and editing: writing and editing of original content/articles based on the information and raw material gathered. c) Proofreading: the text should be proofread to ensure that it is free from errors and that all amendments/corrections have been included correctly. There could be several proof reading stages during the course of the production. d) Rewriting text/content: rewriting and adapting existing content to cater for specific target audiences, specific media and publishing formats (web, printed publications); summarising documents, and modification of texts. e) Updating texts: ad-hoc updating of existing content; sometimes these updates will be simple but more often they will be substantial. Compliance with the rules of the Inter-institutional Style Guide is essential for any drafting work in order to ensure the editorial and linguistic quality of the information products.
