The graphic

Two things stood out at the morning meeting were comments about the snarky nature of today’s sports section front and a conversation about the A1 graphic on that ran with the story on the girl was rescued from a submerged car.

Steve Smith noted that the story mix, including Norman Chad’s piece on Bryant Gumble and John Blanchette’s piece on Jim Walden.

The conversation about the A1 graphic was a series of comments and jokes about how the information in the graphic should be applied in daily life. One of the comments was that everyone should clip it, laminate it, and save it. Maybe in your car, with a hammer and a knife.
Steve commented that the group was having fun with the graphic but the story was horrifying. Steve also mentioned that the story didn’t mention the victim’s name but the victim’s sister was named. Scott Maben pointed out that the authorities wouldn’t give the reporter the name as a matter of policy.

Looking ahead:
Church fires and standoffs.

Be well.
