On some good advice from a friend

Former Rocky editor/publisher/president John Temple writing on his Temple Talk blog, has some advice that editors everywhere should heed. Underlying it all is the notion that the entire organization needs to be involved in content and committed to the product.

Of particular note is No. 5 on the list. "Stop pretending that you 'need' to report something although all your customers already know it." This was a common sin by both the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post, and is one of the biggest mistakes newspapers make: assuming readers get their news from only one source.
