Brad and I got right to work today and managed to get everything written and posted before Gretchen came in for her shift.
Having my shift overlap Brad's and Gretchen's shifts is really working out well. Brad can pick up early stories, Beyond Lawrence and the 3pm update. I can pick up the later stories and I'm still able to get out on time at 5 p.m. Gretchen can focus on editing the pieces out of the newscast and linking them to the stories we've written.
This was probably the smoothest that the Monday afternoon shift has gone this semester. Hopefully, it is the sign of things to come.
