Ethan e-mailed me after my shift on Thursday to see when I what times I would be available. Since the new summer intern started, she took my time slot so there was no more time slots for me. Ethan politely suggested that I could stay on Monday afternoons from 1-5 (the only time slot available) [...]

Another Monday, another editorial meeting. The lady from marketing visited our meeting to talk about Google Analytics, which is the coolest thing ever. It’s what they use to monitor the web activity on Diablo’s website, including what people click on, how long they spend on the website, how often they visit, and anything else you [...]

I ended up calling in Monday morning. I hadn’t slept very well the night before, and I had been driving on a low tire for four days going back and forth to Best Buy over the weekend. And since I had work that evening, I figured I should fix it before I did anymore driving [...]

This week was shipping week. That means that by the end of the week the current issue being worked on is sent to the printers to print. That means articles all have to be fact checked, the art has to be turned in, and the layout completed. It is intense, so the office was in [...]

Of course, most of this week included Best of the East Bay fact checks. I found out about Zeppelin tours of the San Francisco Bay, which cost about $500 per person, per hour. I also tried to contact a cafe that only seems to be open during the evening. I’m not sure how they will [...]

I have to say that this was a good week for me as an intern. I currently have two blogs up that came out really well and worked on plenty of fact checks. I’m not sure why, but for some reason I was really on task this week. I hope I’m able to keep it [...]

Week #16- Back to Restaurant Listings…

I take it back. When I said that I would rather do Restaurant Listings instead of Napa Somona, it was LIES. I forgot how much I loathed Restaurant Listings. My week started when I switched shifts on Monday with another intern. I normally come in 9AM-1PM. She comes in from 1PM-5PM. And she’s in my [...]

(Sorry everyone. I’ve been fairly busy and didn’t have a chance to write up my weekly blogs, so I’m going to be doing a little catch up) After weeks of struggling with Napa Somona fact checks, crazy listings, and the blasted Map, I finally got my wish to go back to Diablo fact checks. YAY! [...]

Week #13- Listings, St. Patick’s Day, and MORE Listings

My work for this week was all listings. A very long list of attractions, museums, historical areas of interest, and theaters all for the Napa Sonoma Magazine. I think he had intended the job for one of the other interns, who works for the magazine all day on Friday, but apparently she called in sick. [...]

Diablo has been quiet this week with fact checks. There is a lot still going on with writing for the May issue, preparing stories for the June issue, and getting Napa Sonoma Magazine out. But the April issue is pretty much done and ready to be printed. A big push for May will be happening [...]
