So..here I am at The Journal-Standard office. Some might think the life of a small-town newspaper editor to be glamorous. But in reality, it's a lot of work. Of course there is recognition. but a small staff means that, inevitably, even the boss winds up pulling an occasional night or weekend shift.
And that's what I am doing right now. It's almost 7 P.M. We are finishing the paper, putting the final text on pages A-1 and A-8. Our designer, Jodie Butler, will layout the page, integrating photos and text boxes, to create an attractive, readable package.
My job tonight is to act as the "night editor." That means that I proof and approve the pages. I also need to write a column for Monday. Any ideas?

Check your headline for the minimum wage story. People are not a dollar amount. Perhaps you should spend more evenings at the paper learning how to watch for errors like that one.
