Rationing the payoff

Any newspaper reporter who has covered an election knows that the only reward, other than getting the chance to file copy after midnight, is the cheap pizza the bosses buy for the hungry troops. At the News & Observer, the director of newsroom operations (whatever that is) instituted a two-slice limit.

In a move that proves America is still the land of plenty, no matter the economic meltdown or newspaper implosion, executive editor John Drescher nixed the limit and opened the pizza boxes to all.

This may be a teachable moment.
