3 desks, sports, news and features. Sports has a confusing number since some are writers part of the time and desk people a couple of nights during the week. Of course, we work with seven to 10 each night after stretching them over 7 days of the week.
Features has four copy editors.
Their section front, however, are handled by graphic artists. Stories go through a desk of assignment editors first who generally iron out the rough spots so the quality generally is good, maybe not great because of time constraints. 4 slots, two paginators and the rest on rim. 2 of the four slots are business and a regional daily publication with early deadlines. Those slot people swing over to rim when their pages clear.
