Where’s Our Producer?

October 18, 2007

That’s how the morning editorial began. With the combination of vacations, sick days, and people attending out-of-town conferences… there was only one producer in the building for a moment. A bit daunting, but we pulled off the day. We went from a bare-bones morning editorial, to a standing-room only afternoon meeting…. one that started out as focused and serious… and ended with the sharing of funny stories and commentary.

Today we’re dealing with more drug store robberies, raising our eyebrows at pre-teens who know too much, and shaking our heads at poor, poor Britney. (of course, she’s back in the news)

Twister Touchdown
“It was straight out of Wizard of Oz… I was looking for the striped socks.” That was our managing editor describing the video out of Pensacola after a tornado hit the area. Sharon Lawson will have a wrap-up of the damage, and Jennifer Gray will break down the science of it.

Pre-Teen Birth Control
When you were in the 6th grade… what did you know about the birds and the bees? Other than the snickering in the back of the class while you learned about the reproductive system… what did you truly know? Seems some students in Maine know a LOT more than they should… so the school board has voted to make birth control available at middle school health care centers.

Halloween Hotspots
We’re only a few days away… do you have your costume? Do you even still dress up? We’ll tell you where you can get last minute costumes… and show you the Halloween Hotspots in tonight’s Ocean Drive segment.

Brit’s Babies
Not only has she lost custody of her children, but now she can’t even visit them. A judge pulled those rights from her until she complies with a court order. No word yet on what the court order is.
