Blogging the front page

VenturaCountyStar.com
Every morning at 9 a.m., the editors of the Ventura County Star get together to talk about what is going to be in tomorrow’s newspaper. At the end of that meeting, tentative plans are made about what stories, photos and graphics will go on Page One. Of course, news happens during the day; and news doesn’t happen (stories will fall through). -And they invite the readers to participate in those decisions. This is a new way of using blogs in traditional newsmaking, good luck from here.

The Page One decisions are finalized at 3 o’clock every afternoon, subject to change before the presses roll. Join the editors meetings in the pressroom online: VenturaCountyStar.com
