EDITORIAL AND PHOTOGRAPHY
DEPARTMENTS GIVE YOU THE SCOOP

THE NEWS’ Editorial department is like a machine that

takes in raw material

— in this case, a story idea — devel-

ops it, and then pumps out the finished product — the news

story.

So where does the North Shore
News get its news?

Story leads come frem various
sources, ranging from the com-
muter who calls in an accident on
the cellular phone, to tips from
co-workers and neighbors, to press
releases from community groups
and businesses.

They also come from the news-
paper’s regular coverage of com-
munity events, school board and
council meetings, the North and
West Vancouver provincial court-
houses, and through regular con-
tact with industry, business, police,
fire, ambulance and search and
rescue personnel in the North

Shore community.

Senior reporter Timothy Ren-
shaw says he’s built up contacts in
the community that are a useful
source for news.

“A lot of my stories are conti-
nuing stories. They sort of gener-
ate themselves after the initial
story,’’ Renshaw says.

Although almost no story idea is
too far out to be considered, the
news value of each story is weighed
before any story is worked on and
eventually published.

**We look at the timeliness of a
story, and if it is serving our mar-
ket,”’ says News managing editor
Barrett Fisher.

“Obviously if it happens in
Burnaby, it’s not serving our mar-
ket. We’re looking at North and
West Yancouver,”’ Fisher added.

In addition to the five News
reporters, various freelance writers
and columnists that do the actual
writing for the Editorial depart-
ment, the newsroom aiso plans the
appearance cf the newspaper.

Page designer Dean Cummer
plots where the stcries and pictures
go in each issue as well as writes
story headlines.

Acting as the link between
Cummer and the production
department is proofreader Barbara
Black.

She checks each proof of the
paper against the page ‘‘dummy”’
