f.) £,ity reporter-- this reporter would co\/er r'luncie City

basketball and volleyball.

three substantial fe3tures (in the editor's jUdgment) for the

Good question.
Thern are two basic ways, salary and piecework.
Uith salary, you pay each reporter about 4 hours a week,

or
whateve~

With piecework, you pay each reporter two hours per

It's most likely because there ar8 few journalism peoplo in

Either way, the system would be much
improved, in my opinion, if a committee of professionals in
journalism was cho:Jon to pick the editor. Some i;nprovements
have been made in recent years with the editors and advisers
of the OrLmt and Da,ily r';ew3 Sjiven votes in the editor selections.
There are two essential means of preparing for the

EDITOR,
You are responsible for the copy to appear on the entertainment
(tv listings) page, as well as arts copy for the rest of the paper.
This means there must be a minimum of one arts-related story e~ch
day.
The story ( or stories) for the entertainment page must be in
early in the day, preferably by 1, but absolutely by 2 p.m. Other
arts copy should be in by 2 }I.rn., except in instances of reviewing
night-time performances.
In assigning reviews, every effort should be made to have the
revievler attend the dress rehearsal so :t~~d:;x::t}n~XxxNX'~XXR)£iE.wXEa)ll
KRXEX)(lXkx)(HXxNroRxk:i}llMxN:fxXN)(iRWxi}llx:t}n;:x)Vx~R:r tha t we dan avo id
holding the paper to get an opening-night review in.
If you have a story that absolutely cannot be written before the
9 p.m. late deadline, consult with the managing editor to make
arrangements.
Your staff--your staff will be made up of, primarily. staff reporters
who have expressed a desire to cover the arts. Obviously, this
is not going to give you enou~h writers with enough expertise to
cover all the arts activity on campus. so, you should begin early
in the qua~ter to find people with knowledge of the arts who can
write regularly for the DN.

It is your job to see that there is enough copy generated each
day to fill the paper. This means assigning news stories, as well
as making sure the arts and feature editors have enough copy coming
in.
The feature editor is expected to have at least two stories coming
in each day, and the arts editor is expected to have at least one.
You will need to look at past issues of the DN to see how much
Ea:nll~li!K staff -wri tten copy is needed to fill the paper.
You will have both staff and chief reporters working for you. The
chief reporters are expected to meet with you every working day
for assignments. You will need to work with the staff reporters
on an individual basis to determine how much work they will be able
to do each week.
Whenever possible, reporters will be assigned stories on a beat
system. ~his will keep them produci~g copy on a consistent basis
and will help them develop sources within their beats.

In the past, sports has been a trouble spot with the Daily
News, sometimes because of the lack of space, sometimes
because of the lack of stories. This year, we're giving
sports additional space whenever possible-- and we've
develppad a system to quench our readers thirst for both
national and campus athletics. the key, of course, lies uith
the job done by the sports editor.
The job starts atxt~8 with the assigmme"t of a wri tar to
each individual sport. If extra writers remain, have them sp8cializ~
in features or intramural events. Every writer with a sports
beat will be expected to turn in a feature on hiS/her team
each wesk. It can be on a personality, but also look for
other slants; such ass the way the team beata boredom
on the bus to games, or practice drills that are a little out
of the ordinary. Also, writers should provide the sports
editor with brights that he/she can ase in the "Sports Briefin~"
column.
this
new
"Sports Briefing" column? Yes, t~3t is a feature that will
run every day and which will be edited by the sports editor.
All advance sports stories will fall into this column, but
don't lBt this become a spot ~~X just for sports information
re-writes. Use it to brief readers about national sports
occurrences (a coach is fired, a star is injured, hot rumors
about a major trade) as well as campus happenings (the aforementioned
bright, a humorous quip).
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Oaily News will run
another new feature, called IISports Summary." Also to
be edited by the sports editor, it will include major baseball,
football, b~sketball, hockey and/or tennis league standings,
linescores and other statistics. It will also include standings,
linescores, etc. for campus and intramural sports. Monday's
"Sports Summary" sbould also include a calendar for ca~pus
sports that week.
Sports columns will app~ar on Tuesday and Thursday. The writers
of each column will be chosen by the sports editor. It
would be wise to have one columnist write about national sports
and the other concentrate on campus sports.
OeadlinG for sports features, "Sports Summary,1I "Sports Briefing,n
and sports columns will be 6 p.m., IX the writer is covering
a late afternoon or evening game will be expected to have hiS/her
story completed two hours after returning from the game.
In addition to all of his other duties, the sports editor also
will layout sports pages according to the flat schedule.
He/She should record all ~~ stories in the futures book. To
get photos with your storieo, check the column in the futures
book marked "photo possibility.1I Ho/she should also notify
the pho~o editor of all home games for the week, and check uith
the photo edttor the day before the event to make sure he
has it assigned.

Features are essential to the Daily News. They prNxige often a
deal with the kinds of subjects x our readers are most interested
in. And, there is no denyin~ that we need features to help fill
the Tk'lper on slow news days ctnd on days when we have particularly
large papers.
To maintain a steady supnly of feature material, an absolute
minimum of two feature stories should be turned in to you every
working day. If you find you do not have enoueh writers to
produce this amount, ask the news editor to refer some g stafT
reporters to you for assignments.
The deadline for all your feature stories should be 2 p.m. See
the managing editor if you ffiUSt make an exception to this deadline.
To get photos with your stories, just check the column in the
futures book marked "photo possibility." The managing editor will
take care of notifyin~ the photo editor of the assig~~ent.
Nearly all your stories will lend themselves to photo illustration,
so be sure and record your assignments in the futures book in
plenty of time for the ph~to assignment to be made--at least two
days in advance, in most cases.
