As our news team nears the gentler end of the workweek — the papers shipped and our to-do lists replaced with notes for the immediately forthcoming publishing cycle — for just a moment, our editors resurface from the detailed depths of production. They email a reminder of the next morning’s editorial planning summit — along with a retrospective look at our work, dash of wit and some pep talk. So we’ve made it a blog series: a behind-the-scenes Final Edit goes public. No ‘Emailgate’ here. –EP

Congrats to all for two strong papers despite being down an editor yet again, with copious thanks to Sherry Jackson for subbing in for said editor with two lengthy rounds of page proofing. Kudos also to Sherry and Ashley Boncimino for churning out a half dozen stories apiece for UBJ (complete with photos in Ashley’s case), to Cindy Landrum for pulling together a solid tribute to Northwood’s Little League triumph, and to April Morris for getting three strong stories out of one county council meeting (and bringing home a state award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness to boot).
Good job, and see you tomorrow.
