Thanks to all for doing an outstanding job. Of course, it wasn't perfect. Here are some reminders.
Editors: Make sure you are working with the latest version of a story. A couple of you were using an early version when a revised version was available.
Also, I'd like to see more subheads. Not every story, but at least the top story on each page should have a subhead.
Photo Editor: Make sure there is a caption for every photo. If not, get enough info to write one.
Also, check each photo to see if it could be improved by cropping.

Editors: Some direction for your pages
I looked at your pages after all of you left today, and it wasn't pretty. Here are some suggestions:
Adam: Let's put Breigh's story and the Save the Peak photo on the front page. I'd also like to have Kathy's story on the drive to place Hollywood High on National Register of Historic Places on the front page. She is struggling with it, but I think she can finish it on Monday. We only need about 3-4 paragraphs. You can decide if you want to use the teachers picketing photo or not.
Kiara: Start by leaving space for the half page Robek's ad on the bottom of page 5. Then think of what artwork you have. There is a photo of Diandra Beckles and a photo from the Getty field trip in the emailbox. There's also some good photos on the school website of Teaching Academy students tutoring little kids. Go to Media Gallery and click on TCA. Put one good-sized photo and one story at the top of each page. You still need to place the Academic Decathlon story and I thought Sree took photos to go with that also. Kevin wrote a news brief on a bridge-building competition which is on the desktop of the computer next to Adam's computer.
If you don't have room for everything you can: A)hold the Teaching Academy story for the next issue; or, B)ask if anyone if they will take the half page ad (there is still a quarter page ad that needs placement).
Elizabeth: I know you can't do much until you get some more photos, but Ana's article needs more info on the Italian class field trip witnessing the Bocelli star. As for Kevin and Maria's articles, I think they should be combined into one story. Go to the W website and get a photo. We are trying to get more photos including one of the sign that says Trader Joe's Coming Soon and one of the loft building at Hollywood and Vine.
Breigh: Change the byline to Compiled by the Crimson Chronicle staff. When you place Josh's story, you will need the photos as a separate file. At the end of the horoscopes, write for entertainment purposes only. Has Chris and Fester been scanned?
Lissette:Your pages should be done on Monday, since they are the least time-sensitive. Remember to use the letter in the emailbox titled Congrats. Double-check the spelling on everything in Man on the Street. I saw three mistakes in the one on the right.
