To be a trusted source of information and
To be a trusted source of information and entertainment that opens the mind and nourishes the spirit. To be valued and recognized as a distinctive and vital media source that strengthens the civic and cultural life of the communities it serves. The start of my day depends largely on what role I’m playing... ...general assignment reporter, or fill-in news anchor. Morning shifts (Morning Edition) start bright and early — I try to get into the office around 4:30 am on those days. On the days I’m filling in as the afternoon newscaster, I get to work around 9:30 in the morning. My first stop (after the coffee pot, and my desk to boot up my computer) is the file drawer in the back of the room that holds the day file. That’s the collection of all the press releases, agendas and other activities going on that day. If I see something interesting that no one else has claimed, I might start doing a little research to become familiar with the topic, or think of questions I might want to ask. As a former political reporter, anything involving government bodies has a tendency to catch my eye pretty quick. If a quick scan of the day file doesn’t produce anything interesting, I check my e-mail, where I get tons of Google News Alerts for a variety of St. Louis and Missouri topics. Those, and articles in the national newspapers, are great places to look for story ideas. I’ll also check the public meetings list for the state, city and county, and look at their agendas. I also like to hit the websites of the appeals courts and see if there are any interesting opinions. Some days I’ll go to a press conference or a government meeting. On other days, it’s working the trusty telephone and our computerized Rolodex to make sense of a press release or story I’m handed. (And the occasional Google search thrown in there). The other reporters and I are also always checking the AP wire or other news websites for breaking news stories. We don’t keep police scanners in the newsroom, and with a relatively small staff it’s impossible for us to be everywhere at once, so we do rely on other media sources for the fast-breaking stories, but we always call to confirm or follow up. I try to write at least two versions of every story. If I have a lot of tape, or there are a lot of goofy angles to the story, I might write three versions. We can do all of our editing right at our desktop computers with a program that’s basically like Word for audio — we can cut, copy, paste, remove the “ums” and “uhs” and long pauses and repetitions. While I’m waiting for calls back, I’m reading the websites of local newspapers, local blogs, the papers we have lying around the newsroom, or working on features, the longer pieces that give us a chance to explore an issue in depth. Sometimes, the calls back from sources come before lunch time, giving me the whole afternoon to do feature stuff. Sometimes, they come at 4:30, and it’s a scramble to get our afternoon newscaster the material by the 5 pm newscast. If all my work is done, I’m generally out of the office around 5, but I stay until all my stories are filed and posted to the Web. At home, I read my latest Google News links and the New York Times, then watch the occasional crime show before heading to bed to do it all over again.
