Deadlines
What's due next?
- Final story is due in my box in Ernie Pyle by noon Tuesday, Dec. 15.
- Podcast rewrite/re-edit due in my box in Ernie Pyle (and in Quincy, if you are resubmitting the cast) by noon Tuesday, Dec. 15.
THE FINE PRINT:
Media professionals work in an environment of constant deadlines. I will announce a deadline each time an assignment is made and post it on this page.
Work handed in after that deadline -- without prior approval -- will automatically lose 10 points (on a scale of 100) for each 24 hours it is late.
The best strategies for avoiding the late penalty are to finish a day before the actual deadline, and to keep backup copies of all work in progress. Putting off the reporting and writing until the last minute may seem exhilarating or romantic, but after the first two times, the stress it creates tends to take the fun out of journalism.
