Goal for staff: Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be.

Goal for editors & advisor: Define success for those under your leadership as total commitment and effort to the team's welfare. Then show it yourself with your own effort and performance. Most of those you lead will do the same. Those who don't should be encouraged to look for a new team. — John Wooden

Day 2: Article ideas & briefs

1. What are the best article ideas? What do you want to write? Assigning articles --> looking for breadth or stories and balanced coverage across all sections.
2. What brief do you want to commit to for 3 weeks?
3. Reading and writing news ... read this piece. What do you notice? What is the difference between an essay and a news piece? Keep in mind news judgement.

Any merits for an article idea from this piece?
