Ms. Kroeger explained that the Virtual Assignment Desk is designed to provide a means of engaging users and contributors in the editorial process. Readers can suggest ideas, tips and pitches, as well as volunteer for those proposed by editors. “It enables contributors to offer their evaluation of pitches already on offer, to volunteer for an assignment, to suggest another contributor for the task, or to see where or how they might team up on the same subject with, say, another contributor who works in a different medium,” she said.
