Busy day of meetings
It looks like a busy day ahead with meetings planned for this morning and afternoon.
First meeting on the agenda is to discuss content and design for the next Exclusively Yours glossy lifestyle magazine which we produce quarterly and goes out free with the Gazette.
These meetings always tend to be 'interesting' as members of the advertisement team usually have their own ideas on what type of content they want in the magazine, and these sometimes differ to my views on what should be included.
We usually come to a 'happy compromise' but it can take several hours of debate so I am expecting a long and lively meeting this morning.
There will hopefully then just be time for a quick 'heads up' on the early newslist for next week's Gazette before heading into another meeting with my fellow editors from our other West London and Bucks papers.
These meetings are usually more 'sedate' affairs but extremely productive.We will discuss the current circulation trends for the papers with our newspaper sales manager Debbie; look at new content initiatives for the titles and share ideas that have worked or, in some cases might not been so successful.
We will also all have our usual moans and groans, including the production editor's usual gripes about incorrect picture captions and failure to adhere to the style book, but finish up as one happy family with the sole intention of producing the best possible papers for our readers week in week out.
