Juggling act
This week it's going to be a real juggling act trying to get everything into the paper.
As Christmas fast approaches and the queues at the tills get longer the pagination of papers tend to drop as advertising slows up for the festive season. This usually means we have smaller papers but just as much content to get in.
This week is a typical example of that for the Gazette and we will have to be quite ruthless with the newslist on deciding exactly what we can fit in. A good case is the many nativiity plays and Christmas events our photographers Chris and Toby are currently rushing about all over the borough to cover - I have also noticed their expanding waistlines due to the mince pies they are obviously scoffing at each job they cover!
These pictures need to go in before Christmas - it's not a lot of good having a spread of natviity pictures in the New Year and the many children we feature will also be expecting to see their pictures in the Gazette over the next couple of weeks.
So it's going to be a tough couple of days trying to squeeze everything in and thats along with what has developed on the newslist over what I expect to have been a busy news weekend. I will keep you posted on how we get on later in the day.
