I'm sorry we didn't talk one-on-one in between sessions.<BR/><BR/>It's way too harsh to say that our first edition will be a throwaway. Ouch! Will some stories improve between editions? Sure, just as they did under the rim/slot model. Will most slugs need this kind of after-the-fact repair? No. Historically, we've gone into only a quarter to a third of our slugs between the first and second editions, with most of those for updates, not repairs. I don't see what we're doing significantly changing that trend.<BR/><BR/>Also, I didn't point out in Denver but will here that this new editing model comes on the heels of a redesign of the A section. In it, we are producing many more of the entry points you touch on in #4. Copy editors create some of that text, but not all: The night editor writes some, and so do the assistant and assignment editors. Again, the trick is getting them done as early as possible, so we can get those multiple eyes on them. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Scott ButterworthScott Butterworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950278284763844745noreply@blogger.com
