Google Drive Organization

When managing a large publication, files often get lost, and editors struggle to find articles because of cluttered Google Drives. To counter this you should make a Google Drive system and have all of your staff members follow it.

In the Jets Flyover, we have a main journalism folder for that houses all documents. In this main folder, we have a writing folder for the day-time class and the after school activity, and folders with other guidelines. I would also recommend that you add a shortcut to your staff manual so that your staff can easily access it.

Within the writing folders, we have our writers make a separate folder for themselves. Every time they write an article, all resources that the editors need – including the draft and any images, are put into the folder.

As long as you give reminders for people to put their files in their folders, this method allows the leadership team to stay organized and find documents with ease.
