If they have time, reporters return to the Herald Sun office at Southgate where they type the story into their computer. A reporter can cover three or four stories each day. The photographer processes the film and scans the negatives into the Herald Sun computer system. Sometimes, when the photographer is away from the office, the photograph is transmitted by laptop computer. Each morning and afternoon the editor meets with senior staff to decide what will be in the following day's Herald Sun .
Plans made in the morning often change by the afternoon, as news is always happening.
The editor, picture editor and senior staff also meet each afternoon to look at the day's photographs to decide what will be in tomorrow's newspaper and on what pages they will appear. The sub-editor designs the pages on a computer screen, then arranges the stories and photographs to fit the page. Deadline Newspapers have strict deadlines, which all who work on the newspaper must adhere to. The sub-editor is under enormous pressure to prepare the pages as the printing deadline looms. Often it is difficult to see mistakes on a computer screen.
