Tasty treats
Another new recruit has joined our production unit today which means for the first time in many months we are now fully staffed in Gazette House.
Apart from producing the Gazette the production unit also subs and designs pages for a numner of other titles across West London, Bucks, North London and Essex.
Each week the unit is responsible for producing more than 500 pages and it is a hectic operation with a number of daily deadlines to meet throughout the week. Even being just one member of staff down can impact on the unit so it's a relief that we are now back to full strength.
As well as being editor of the Gazette the production unit also falls under my responsibility and later today I am off to our Basildon office in Essex, which is the home of the Yellow Advertiser titles.
We produce 10 editions of the YA titles from Uxbridge, although all the editorial content and pictures are locally sourced by the reporters and photographers based in Basildon.
I will be attending a management meeting in Basildon where any production issues and new ideas will be discussed. With the sun beating down hopefully my journey on the M25 to Essex will not be too arduous and there is usually an excellent selection of biscuits on offer when I arrive in Basildon.
This morning is being spent catching up on some paperwork and looking at the first take of the newslist for next week's Gazette which hopefully will have some tasty treats on offer to rival the Basildon biscuits.
