time-consuming LB Times

December 18, 2006 solitaryconfinement

i just came from the staff meeting of Los Baños Times (a community newspaper produced annually by Devc123 class-Production and Management of a Community Paper). To avoid paying big (i really mean BIG) fines, i was forced to come really early. And also because I am the Associate Editor (hehe.. shame on me if i would come late).

i’m excited and at the same time nervous on how our output would look like. the pressure to be better than the previous batches of LB timers is on us. We have to produce a well-edited paper with a lot of human interest stories the readers could relate to.

Having been appointed as the Associate Editor, i have to edit all the articles right after passing the “hands” of the section editors. how i wish all writers follow the deadlines for my work be a little easier. but i doubt if all of them could comply. hehe. i also chose to join the news section because i think i enjoy news writing. i enjoy running after people just to gather facts. i also enjoy getting ‘scoops’ and get it published.

i wish our batch will be able to produce the BEST issue of LB Times. =)

by the way, ours is the 27th issue. =)

haaayy.. the presswork and the meetings will really require much of my time. but then, i love it. i love writing. i love journalism. =)
