Three days, down from a week in 1990. We have sporadic training sessions and in-house discussions with the slots, who prepare discussions, usually early in the year, before the vacations kick in. We also have a writing newsletter. Management has been talking about expanding training, but has not yet found a formula, partly because of difficulties with scheduling, and we may not have money for outside consultants right now. Sports 5-2, mostly.
Extra pages are okay.
Also, the newsroom is a dump, and we have occasional labor disputes that are nerve-wracking. On the whole I like it a great deal, but then, I'm settled, 40something and like copy editing.
