Inside the newsroom, it's never just another day at the office. A reporter can come to work intending to interview the mayor and end up slogging through a muddy field to reach a disaster. News knows no schedule. And if we are on top of it, we are in a constant state of shedding one plan for another that better meets your needs in light of the latest developments. It would be were it not for the professionalism and dedication of our staff.
Success demands an uncommon taste for surprises and problem-solving on deadline.
And I can't say enough about the people who produce the news you read every day. Today, we begin a tour of the Eagle newsroom, located on the third floor of the newspaper's main building at 825 E. Douglas Ave. Over the next few weeks, we hope to give you a better idea of how we gather and present the news. We also want to answer your questions about getting news int. We'll start where the buck stops.
