I recently opened a paper for school talking about the less work, more stories mentality that has crept into today’s journalism. However, this is not what I was imagining.
The South Bend Tribune wants its reporters to be more productive. And by productive, they mean keep a log of everything they do.
“We mean everything, from the most mundane county council advance to the beginning interview in the most ambitious investigation that may or may not see the light of day (or publication).”
Virginia Black, assistant managing editor/news, sent out a memo to the staff of the Tribune Thursday.
I understand trying to keep reporters on task, but this is taking it to an extreme.
