In the 5th episode of Reporter Shop Talk, BayToday reporters Stu Campaigne and Dave Dale give us a behind the scenes perspective on how journalists can't really plan their day. News priorities evolve, news breaks at anytime and keeping a schedule is next to impossible as plan B turns out to be a better story to tell than plan A.
Also, Editor Jeff Turl will have a column on writing headlines and the strategy behind them. Think of it as Wordsmithing 101!
And if you missed it, here's what else happened last week:
Congratulations Bruce B., winner of a $100 gift card from The Station Tap House to enjoy great food and very refreshing beverages!
On the editorial side, in case you missed episode 4 of Reporter Shop Talk, journalists Dave Dale and Stu Campaigne looked at the ethics and mechanics of gathering audio for use in stories; and Chris Dawson recalls Fight night on Chippewa Street , one of the craziest games ever played at Memorial Gardens.
