Editing
The Editing Committee is charged with the editing of all official NCTA publications, both hard copy and web pages, with particular emphasis on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and style rather than actual content. While the editing committee does not edit emails or the Association’s newsletter, it does make every effort to ensure that any other material representing the Association, especially material about the annual conference, is well-written.

Newsletter
The Newsletter Co-editors compile and edit the organization's newsletter which is published three times a year. They solicit and edit articles for each newsletter and set article receipt dates and publication deadlines. In addition, the Co-editors work with the Webmaster to post the newsletter on the website and send out a message on the NCTA mailing list to advise members that the newsletter is available on the website.
