Lack of inhouse recognition of desk talents results in low morale. I believe the assistant managing editor and photo editor. 30s-60s, with 40s predominating. CSI, not paginated, new front-end system under investigation, but probably a couple of years off. Yes, for a week, if possible.
Copy editors are eligible for some training, primarily in computer skills.
Most work a rotating schedule, working every third weekend. Hours average 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. 17. Extra pages are okay. Portland is a great place to live and thus attracts high-caliber professionals in reporting, editing, design, etc.
