The
Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington, has launched a new blog, "
Daily Briefing," that opens the curtain on the newsroom's editorial staff meetings (each weekday morning and afternoon). Online publisher
Ken Sands says this is an additional component in the newspaper website's "transparent newsroom" umbrella (which also will include webcasting the news meetings, and now includes an
Ask the Editors feature).
It's an interesting read. For example, on Friday blog writer
Ken Paulman mused after the 4:30 p.m. news meeting, "We're not sure what to do at this hour with the photo of Saddam in his underwear that appeared in several tabloids today. It's up to the designer and photo editor, we'll see what they come up with."
We have something kind of similar ... not based off...
