title: Advice for a young editor: a long and satisfying relationship.
abstract: The mechanics and the details of dental journalism have changed as we have moved from the literal "paste-up" to the electronic world. The challenges of serving the interests of the readers and the sponsoring organization, of finding strong writers and writing the editorials have not. An emerging concern is ensuring that commercial interests do not exert unwarranted influence. There are resources--such as the American Association of Dental Editors, the American Dental Association, and editor colleagues--to help work through these issues.
