Newsdek is the parent’s heartbeat. Fast, fast and inspires you to publish more news reports at any time that seems to be close to a heart attack.
In three years, as an assistant news editor, there has been no shortage of historical moments – Brexit and General Elections have quickly followed the epidemic that is changing the world. Even on quiet days, the first editor in London took the baton from our Australian office and updated the website with the latest stories, and when the night editor finished the last edition at about 1 hour, our operation began at 7 p.m.
Over the past two decades, news editing has had to keep pace with the Internet and the evolution of technology. We don’t just focus on filling out paper pages – we produce and print pieces for the site all day. And if articles are not enough, we have live blogs that scan every few minutes, including Politics, VV-19 and any other emerging events.
It was a long time ago when the late Jean Steadne joined the Yorkshire Post for the first time. Without the significant cultural changes that she has implemented, the quality of our news output will not be what it is today.
In the early 1960’s, the guard had a reputation for being slow in the news. Cecil King, chairman of the publisher giant IPC, wanted to release: “The Telegraph reports today, The Guardian will comment on tomorrow.” So when Stead finally joined the running table, the guard was sent to compete on Fleet Street. She recalls in an interview before she died: “We are tired of being ridiculed like other papers.
During her tenure, Stade and her team developed a stream of diversity that had a real impact. A.D. In 1971, The Guardian reported that private investigators were extracting information from White House departments, the Office of Criminal Records, and banks. Incumbent Prime Minister Edward Heath ordered an investigation and security was restored. A.D. In 1973, according to The Reporter, Adam Rafael, the sole leader of British companies, confirmed that South African workers were underpaid. The matter was taken up by a select committee and finally settled.
So how does magic happen? I learned from a combination of determination and zeal. Destroying it is not a job to change. Stories follow closely, and all facts must be correct or you are in trouble. “They always use your mind,” said Stade.
She talked about the “table shot” throughout the day, including a conference with other editors. “You have to go through the news list, there are 20 items, and you have to say something about each one, you don’t have time to practice,” she recalls. There were so many professionals around the desk that you had to adjust everything. She said the conference was so difficult that broadcasting and television were relatively difficult.
The timing and attendance list of the conference may have changed, but expectations have not changed. Every day, one of us reads the news at the midday news conference. We need to know each of the 20 to 40 stories about the military exodus in Afghanistan, the disappearance of the Thames in the Thames, or the Sandringham mystery. . We sell stories that we think are relevant to the front page, that can be ignored, and that add some humor or simplicity.
One of the things I enjoy most about being at the table is cooperation. I have never felt lonely, working in the morning with those editors to decide which of the big stories of the day and what we need to cover, working with reporters on long-term projects and sharing in the joys and sorrows of great national development. In high pressure, in a hurry, stupid things can make you laugh. One of our desk managers, who answered countless calls during the day, was heard shouting, “We don’t have an appointment with journalists, it’s like going to the library and asking for a bag.”
I remember when Theresa May was shot by British MPs in the last century. When it came to accepting the verdict and accepting the vote of no confidence in the government, there were a few common gases. Similarly, when the Supreme Court ruled that the government had committed an illegal act of dissolving parliament, or when Chris Whitty delivered his first press conference, the tension in the room was obvious.
There are frequent disagreements with their reporters, stories have been changed, captured or posted. Frustration is inevitable. Sometimes journalists hit you at the table when you least expect it and use what we call “driving”. We moved the newsroom to the newsroom, in the middle of the operation, saying, “Let no one get behind my shoulder.”
Stead said she found it frustrating to be a woman editor because she “could not see what had happened.” Still, when a reporter put John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the bed, they came back and said, “That’s the problem with finding a female news editor – I don’t think so. He should show you these pictures. ”Stead once asked Margaret Thatcher,“ The best way to balance work and home life, ”to which the former prime minister replied,“ Representation. ” The comment touched on Stade’s comments about losing her social life. “You have to stop doing a lot of things. I never left. Of course, every news editor knows the pain of canceling plans because they are “done.”
Today, there are more women on the table than men, and there are times when we have all the women lined up. We also have a number of editors from a minority background – an essential aspect of any news section that needs to be spoken and for a modern, diverse readers.
so what it is Is that reader interested? Stade: “The watchman may have a lively and curious mind. If you happen to have a general rule, you think the ban will be the first ban.
That has always been the same.
