The info was released at Thursday's police briefing and ran front page on Friday's issue of the Macomb Journal. News here at the Courier really needs to step it up next semester.

I try competing on the photo side but it's not all that hard since they're all writers, no offense but I think news can take on that same competitive mindset because jobs are getting few and far between and you got to be on top to get anywhere.

But besides just complaining, I need to make sure I'm on top of it too. Granted I'm the photo editor but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on staff with a police scanner so I'll try to do what I can too.

Well it's finals week here. Gtg.

Production Night 12-9-08

Well it's not night anyway but I'm back in the office. Seems like I'm never out of here. We're coming down to the last 2 productions for the semester and then it's finals week so no paper.


It's raining out there; A lot colder than I expected with my room being so #$!#% hot with the window open.

Doubt there'll be too many photographers or writers at the meetings today. I've got a bunch of papers to type so hopefully I can get some work during the down time.

I guess only having 3 classes this semester was as hard as I thought it'd be. I know it sounds crazy but it's just so hard to stay motivated with all this free time. Being an editor probably doesn't help much since there's so much I want to do here. Started out well but faded out. Hopefully things pick up next semester.

Also, expect a new masthead (i.e.- top of the paper) for next semester and hopefully more online content. Really need a studio here for some easy setup.

-Portfolio is just about done photo-wise. Still need video and articles in though. This is taking FOREVER. It's going to be rough when I graduate. Need to outshine everyone if I plan on making it anywhere.

Production: 12-7-08

Almost done with everything. Just sitting at my computer listening to Sublime. Some copy editing going on at the main table. Just an 8 pager for tomorrow. Wish we got more photo requests because we only have 1 photo on the front page and two graphics.

Besides that, I really need to bring some DVD's or CD-R's in to get this portfolio done. I think I have all photos done with cut-lines but just need to add a few video's and probably some PDF's.

Right now, I think everyone's just waiting for a graphic and then we're out of here.
