Birds fly from library!
After a day out of the office on Friday I have spent a large chunk of this morning catching up, which includes trolling through an ever expanding inbox on my email.
Despite a lot the emails carrying the tag of 'not interesting delete immediately' there were a couple of potential stories which I have passed on to the newsdesk to investigate further.
This week's newslist is again looking quite strong and we have potential leads for all four Gazette editions. However, it's still early days and although they are all good stories we will be working hard to unearth at least a couple of really good exclusives for our readers.
One of the stranger stories, which we have already run on the website, is the theft of two prize stuffed birds from a display cabinet at Uxbridge Library. It's amazing to think that thieves managed to carry out this daring raid in broad daylight from a busy library and even took the glass clasing the birds were in. We will be covering this story in more depth in this week's paper.
Although I was not in the office on Friday I was putting my time to good use (don't want anyone to think I was bunking off for the day).
After a lively and interesting meeting with some of my fellow editors from across the region I then spent time with our digital director looking at some improvements to the Gazette website.
We have indentified some changes to further enhance the site and I will bring you news of these over the course of the next few days.
