		<description><![CDATA[The other day I bumped into the father of a former newspaper intern.
The intern had been a keeper. She was smart, had the beginnings of the killer instinct that makes great reporters, and even though she was a high school student, was already a passable writer.
She represented the future of newspapering in America and she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s summer and odds are you now have or will get a journalism intern in your newsroom.
	It&#8217;s a wonderful thing.
	You get an enthusiastic staffer at low cost. Ironically, given the quality of the interns I&#8217;ve employed and worked with they&#8217;re likely to be better reporters and writers than the ones you have full-time.
	You&#8217;re also educating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;d like to apologize for my absence.
	Late last year, I had a death in my immediate family and my Muse left me and I&#8217;ve been silent these many months.
	However, as they say, life is for the living and life goes on. I&#8217;m back and I&#8217;ll start posting to this site. I&#8217;ve always had a lengthy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Time is your enemy. Don&#8217;t make it everyone else&#8217;s enemy
	As an editor, you&#8217;ll never have enough of it and the time pressure can be daunting at times, especially a half-hour before press time.
	As I&#8217;ve mentioned, don&#8217;t hesitate to spend some of your publisher&#8217;s money if something helps you to cut corners on beating the clock.
	Because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	In my last post, I discussed the power of &#8220;don&#8217;t mess with my TV&#8221; and how it might affect the Digital TV revolution of 2008 — and like the French revolutionaries of more than 200 years ago, the present-day revolutionaries may find themselves being guillotined by even more radical revolutionaries.
	But the power of &#8220;don&#8217;t mess [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	The biggest demonstration I&#8217;ve personally witnessed had nothing to do with Vietnam, civil rights or the Gulf wars.
	It everything to do with cable TV and the Chicago Cubs.
	It happened several years ago. At the time, there were only two cable TV companies in the nation, and they were — and still are — giants. In [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t remember the name of it but each week, some reading expert would adapt an AP story into a short story geared to kids. The story would generally be about something popular with kids such as dinosaur discoveries, planets or snakes [...]]]></description>

	Here are some of my Commandments for running a newsroom:
	â€¢ Get to know your staff. 
	As one wise editor told me: &#8220;All your reporters lie to you at one time or another.

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve been reflecting on the ruckus concerning the products made in China being recalled for a wide variety of hazards or shoddy production.
	I&#8217;ve always been surprised at how few newspapers include stories about product recalls. I always did.
	For publications that boast of of their &#8220;local, community connections,&#8221; the papers could perform a useful community service [...]]]></description>
