Week One of The Hawk

Hey guys! Here's week one of my experience on The Hawk:

9/12/12

        This issue of The Hawk was my first issue as a section editor on the staff. I wrote the Faces of SJU article on Kimey Moon, who works at Kimey’s restaurant. My assistant Megan wrote a review of Landmark, since it’s the new bar/restaurant on campus, and it might be successful. Bobby Brier wrote an article on safe running routes around campus, and Katie Smith wrote a recipe for homemade peppermint patties.

     Since this is the first time I’ve done this before, I ran into problems that I wasn’t sure how to deal with, but I worked through it, and everything turned out fine. For example, I kept contacting Bobby over the weekend, asking about the progress of the article, and that I needed to have it by Sunday in the afternoon. However, Sunday night rolled around, and I found out he actually didn’t even start it. Along with that, Ben, our photo editor, forgot to get a picture of Landmark for me. All this was going on while I was trying to figure things out with InDesign. Needless to say, I was frustrated.

     Hopefully things will run smoother next week. We shall see.
