re: from the SR Daily Briefing blog re: the behind-the-scenes decision on which of two Washington stories to run in the Idaho edition:

Part of today's discussion was determining which of two stories our Idaho readers would be least interested in: New Gonzaga-themed license plates, or a look at the opposition to a measure to repeal the state's recent gas tax increase. One of the stories would run across all editions, the other would only run in Spokane and Valley editions, swapping with a story about rehired CEDU workers, which would run in the Idaho edition.

The license plate story was initially slated to run all night, but in the end we decided that the gas tax has a larger impact in Idaho. While lots of GU alums across the state line might be interested in hearing about their alma mater getting a nod from the department of licensing, they still can't buy the plates.

Question: Did we make the right call?
