Finish your beat reports and think about city council


On Monday, we'll start covering the city council in earnest. That means you should:
  • Know where city council meets.
  • Be ready to attend the meeting Monday night in order to file a news story by midnight.
  • Familiarize yourself with the agenda before class meets so we can talk about what might be newsworthy.
Also on Monday, your second beat report is due. Please print it out and staple the pages together. This beat report should be far richer than your first. It should show that you are thinking about your beat in interesting ways, anticipating what news will come up in the next couple of months, what trends are going on on your beat, what data is kept on your beat that might come in handy when deciding what your number story will be.

No one comments much around here, so I'd like to point out that the picture is pretty neat.
