'Good news' section
After a day out of the office on Friday much of this morning has been spent playing catch up and responding to the usual daily flurry of emails.
I am shortly off to our Ealing office for a meeting which looks like it will last most of the afternoon but the good ship Gazette is in the capable hands of content editor David Tilley and this week's edition is progressing well.
Despite a somewhat depleted reporting team this week we look like having strong splashes for all four edition front pages and several other stories are also developing well so I expect another strong Gazette come tomorrow lunchtime and our final deadline.
I was interested to receive the comments from Lynn Hall to my previous blog (Most popular stories) and her suggestion that we should have a 'Good News' section in the Gazette.
We do try to include as many good news stories as possible in the paper each week and ensure we have a balance between negative and positive stories. The point I was making is that generally it's the stories that you would define as 'bad news' that boost newspaper sales and get the most hits on the website.
However, I am always interested to receive comments from Gazette readers and would welcome your thoughts and views on the paper.
