Straight Goods News production tasks and timelines, January 2013
Newsblog, Hill Reports and the Video Gallery are updated daily or as often as
possible. Ish edits all these sections except Newsblog, which he co-edits with
Penney.
All other sections are edited by Penney, who posts new editions on Monday and
Thursday evenings for publication on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Penney needs PublicValues pieces in hand by 11 a.m., MT on Mondays and
Thursdays. At this point, they need to be fully edited with headlines and
Featured Images.
Ish should submit editorials by 3 p.m. ET ( 1 p.m. MT).
Penney will submit a list of image requests to Kenzie by 2:30 p.m. MT for
placement by 4:30 p.m. MT.
Penney will submit RPS recommendations to Dylan by 7 p.m. MT.
Dylan will change the RPS by 8 p.m. ET, by which time all new pieces will be Published.
Images. With RSS-email, we would benefit from having all stories include Featured Images, which will appear in email bulletins. In many cases, the images could be the authors. This is a something we'll have to discuss, but I have always wanted our new site to have images connected with all articles. RSS-email is another reason to have them. Can we assign Kenzie to this? – Ish
Proofing schedule: ????
(Please note there are volunteers who have offered to help proof).
Until the RSS-email utility is in place, Dylan will hand-compose the bulletin,
usually by 8 p.m. ET the night before publication. Once RSS-email is working,
with will automatically send out notification of new articles to readers on
Tuesdays and Fridays, or possibly more often if they choose to be so informed.
