Here’s a brief insight into how a print newsroom functions. The reporters and photographers go out individually during the day to pursue stories in their specific beats. Then, in the evening, the editorial team comes into office to collate all this information and make sense of the day’s news, which is presented to the reader the following morning. The two teams often work in silos. But sometimes, a member of the editorial team might make a shift to the reporting wing, and when that happens, this person has a distinct advantage. He or she already has an understanding of the editorial mind, and can thus frame a copy accordingly so that it doesn’t have to be chopped and changed much subsequently.
