Happy Labor Day, North Okaloosa County!
We have so much to be grateful for on this day, as we recall the deplorable working conditions of yesteryear while recognizing that there's still progress to be made.
Today on Editor's Notes, as we work toward our Labor Day off (this was recorded on Sunday), we offer a look at how columns are created. It's something a number of readers have asked about.
Well, I don't write Editor's Desk until the night before press deadline. That's partly due to necessity (there's much to do beforehand) and partly due to what really determines the topic. If it's a column with a certain depth (issue-oriented), it could take three hours to write, including the necessary research.
If it's more of a preview to what's inside the midweek edition, it's pretty quick to get through.
Watch the video for a preview of this week's issue-oriented column, and enjoy your Labor Day!
