How to Enter the Masthead

The Masthead is your go-to section for acknowledging everyone involved in the production of your publication. It runs alongside the Lifestyle Letter and is where writers, photographers, and your local team receive credit for their contributions. While contributors assigned in ARC automatically populate in the Masthead, any external contributions must be manually added.

1. Access the Masthead:
   • From the Editorial page, navigate to the Issues tab.
   • Select Masthead from the left content outline.
2. Add Contributing Writers and Photographers:
   • Use the designated text boxes at the top of the page to list any additional contributors.
   • Best practice: List writers and photographers in alphabetical order for consistency.
3. Credit Your Local Team:
   • Include the publisher, editor, and any other roles in your local team, such as publication director or account manager.
   • This section may already auto-populate with team members’ names, titles, and email addresses.
4. Customize Team Titles:
   • Use the dropdown menu to modify titles (e.g., change "Editorial Coordinator" to "Editor").
5. Add Missing Team Members:
   • Click Add to include any local staff not already listed.
   • Use the dropdown to assign their title, then manually input their name and email address.
6. Save Your Work:
   • Always click Save before exiting the page. Remember, ARC does not autosave!
