People expect you to be good so they don't put that memory on file, just like they expect the person who answers the phone at The Sun to be helpful. That's right - the nasty time. Keep that in mind the next time you're in Food Lion wearing your Lake Forest T-shirt. I'll have this finished in plenty of time. Planning is essential when you work for a newspaper.
Planning means meeting daily deadlines for stories and photos.
Planning means thinking ahead and working out a schedule. Another story takes its place. Maybe something more exciting happened and the reporter wrote a different story. Or maybe another person's story looked better in that space. Everyone works together to make sure the newspaper is complete in time to go to press.
