Too much Virginia Tech?

We started today’s meeting by watching the video report from last night’s Our Kids: Our Business vigil .

Steve Smith then asked if we were missing something by not localizing the Virginia Tech shootings more. What followed was a discussion that is probably taking place in newsrooms all over the country today. You can watch the conversation here .

Carla Savalli asked if we underplayed the Victims, parishes back deal diocese story. Steve pointed said that since it was the strip across the top of A1 the only thing we could have done was change the weight of the headline.

Steve also had kudos for the Thorburn story and the dog food story .

Looking ahead:
We are working on a follow on Summer Phelps’ death and a Shonto Pete follow.

Be well.
Joe
