As our news team nears the gentler end of the workweek — the papers shipped and our to-do lists replaced with notes for the immediately forthcoming publishing cycle — for just a moment, our editors resurface from the detailed depths of production. They email a reminder of the next morning’s editorial planning summit — along with a retrospective look at our work, dash of wit and some pep talk. So we’ve made it a blog series: a behind-the-scenes Final Edit goes public. No ‘Emailgate’ here. –EP
We took on a broad and unruly topic when we decided to publish an “entertainment” issue in UBJ, but we focused in nicely and found the relevance to our audience, exploring everything from entertaining clients to the ethics of business travel. Staff reporters Ashley Boncimino, Robbie Ward and Sherry Jackson all delivered incisive, informative articles, and expert contributions from Godshall Staffing and Cherry Bekaert showed how much depth of information there is among Upstate professionals. Sherry also got to the bottom of the planned Pendleton Street Baptist property sale, once again establishing UBJ as the go-to source for CRE news in the region.
In the Greenville Journal, April Morris swarmed all over the burgeoning EMS/GHS controversy, and Benjamin Jeffers was apparently everywhere in town where the words “candidate” and “president” were uttered in the same sentence. Cindy Landrum summed up a summertime rite of passage with her SAIL cover story, getting us close enough to smell the chlorine. And Greg Beckner turned in some fantastic portrait photography to accompany profiles of Fabian Unterzaucher and Sue Lile Inman.
Altogether, a very cool couple of papers to get us through a very warm summer solstice. Enjoy the reads, and we’ll see you next week, after the official start of summer.
