Mercury A Peek at the Editorial Process

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 1:34 PM

Every Wednesday we have an editorial meeting in which discuss the upcoming week's paper, our web presence, as well as other topics of note. Many of you have expressed interest in being a "fly on the wall" in one of these meetings and as such, I took the liberty of setting up a video camera to record the proceedings. In this excerpt, proof reader Courtney Ferguson (with the bun/pigtails) discusses the finer points of copy editing with arts editor Alison Hallett (with the longer hair).

What do you guys think of the new Mercury uniforms?

In this version, the roll of Olive will be played by a Chihuahua.

@ezra: Ask Alison the difference between role and roll.

I'mprobably going to get in trouble over this idea, but how about ladies wrestling as a prelude to Blogtown movie nights. Letter rip, guys and gals.
