Where have you published information? Consider online platforms as well as traditional venues. How did it make you feel to have your work published?
Have you ever curated or compiled information for an audience? Have you ever aggregated digital information such as links to resources for an audience via social media? Is this publishing?
Has the information you’ve published gone through an editorial review process? Who is doing the review and what implications does that have?
How do you make decisions about what information to publish? Have you considered the benefits or ramifications if the information ends up being shared more broadly than you intended?
Have you ever published something you were especially proud of? Have you ever published something you later regretted?
Have you ever created a blog or tumblr where other people contribute? Do you have a review process that you have used or created? How do you decide which contributions to include?
Have you ever been an editor for a school newspaper, magazine, yearbook, or other publication?
Have you ever self-published your work? What elements might be missing when self-publishing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing?
