I have editorial powers and I know how to use them. Timidly.
Today, I'm in charge of posting breaking news from the AP wire onto our site.
For a while, I faltered under the pressure. Then I copy/pasted the continuing Enron legal issue and told myself, "well, you did something." Then after some contemplation, I added another (with a photo!) about the fires in Oklahoma and Texas.
Picking out stories from the wire is hard, though. There are SO MANY stories, and SO MANY versions of each story. I'm drowning in stories. Most of them sound really boring, and the important ones have more than a half-dozen different versions.
I also made a map of everything going on in downtown Spokane on New Year's Eve. It made the features editor happy because it's awesome. It made me sad because I still don't have plans.
Speaking of being all alone, I still don't see anyone else blogging here. Come on guys, it's a really slow news week.
