I'm writing to you early this yea...Dear Santa,<br /><br />I'm writing to you early this year, hoping that you'll have a little mercy on me. <br />Here's why.<br /><br />I work at one of the LANG papers, and well, no one listens to anyone in the newsroom. The theme around the room is "I don't make enough money to care." I understand what they mean. It's kind of true. We've got furloughs coming, we don't get to keep our vacation days, and I'm pretty sure the higher ups are trying to figure out how to take something else away.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I stay for the stories, the people I meet, the experiences.<br />But there are some things I wish would change. Here's my wish list:<br /><br /><br />1) I want the headlines to have something to do with the story, both online and in print. An example of a bad headline: 2010, The Year that was, was and will be.<br /><br />2) I would like the photos to match the story, not just fit the page.<br /><br />3) It would be great if editors listened rather than yawned, talked about wanting drugs, or played with plastic toys on his/her desk while I'm pitching a story.<br /><br />4) I wish our paper looked better.<br /><br />5) I wish people would care again.<br /><br />6) If you could turn back time, I wish I had been good at math and the sciences in school.<br /><br />Thanks for listening Santa.<br />Love,<br />Someone who used to be naughty but is trying really hard to be nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
