| Editorial Conferences: About 2 p.m. every day, editors meet in a conference room to discuss the daily "budget" or list of stories planned for the next day's paper. The editors decide which stories will go on the front page of The Times and which will be placed inside. Photographs are also chosen to illustrate stories at this point. Editors make certain stories are fair, well written and easy to understand. Headlines are then written by the copy editor, who corrects grammatical, spelling or factual errors. Finished stories are sent to the news editor. The news editor makes a page layout or "dummy." The dummy shows where the copy and the pictures will be on each page of the newspaper. |
