Election Rush

Tonight, at the Greeley Tribune, newspaper staff assembled to discuss deadlines for the articles about Greeley's election. These articles will be printed on the front page of tomorrow's edition. For most reporters, Election Day is the busiest day of the year.
As pizza box lids fly open, so does the newsroom meeting. The meeting began with the staff introducing themselves to us, UNC student reporters.
Randy Bangert, editor, started the meeting discussing the online live chat. The Tribune hosted an online forum to help the public with any questions and live updates on the election.
Kelly Tracer, managing editor, discussed what will be covered in the election and by whom.
In a newsroom meeting, editors are fast and quick to the punch. My word of advice while attending a meeting: if you have questions speak up fast. Editors move quickly and expect you to know your duties.
Ballot counts and totals started rolling in to The Tribune at 7:30 p.m.
The Tribune was very accepting of hosting UNC students in their meeting. It was an opportunity to watch journalists in action. Election Day is busy and journalism students should all be given the opportunity to see a newsroom in action.
