So, we’ve been having issues getting the audio from my city commission candidate interviews prepared for online streaming.

We have an e-mail out right now to the developers of an audio program we use to see if we can’t figure out why it isn’t working for us. The audio is playing back fine on the computer, but we need to switch the file from .wma to .mp3 to make sure it works on our website. This will also help us edit the audio to take out me asking the questions.

The more and more we talk about how newspapers need to evolve in this new market, the need for news to be more of a dialogue continues to crop up. So, in an effort to let you guys know pretty close to everything, giving you the chance to decide what effects you the most, the Globe Blog is starting the "Reporter's Notebook."

A style guide is one of the most basic pillars of newspaper journalism. It offers writers a chance to present a consistent style to the readers. It helps avoid confusion and gives the reporter a bare-bones view on how they should be putting their stories together.


So, why didn't the Globe have one? That's a question that I asked myself the day I started here. Of course, we used the Associated Press Style Guide. All newspapers do. But, what happens when our reporter needs to write about the Dodge City Commission?

I'm writing up my second entry in this blog with a bit of trepidation, as I'm sure the whopping three people who read the last post are clamoring for more.

The knowledge of the blog at this point is pretty limited, as we've been struggling with the Web site on how to make the blogs a bit more visible.

Hopefully we'll get the kinks hammered out soon. Also, I'm hopeful we'll be able to pester corporate enough to updating our Web site.

So, to the couple people who know about it, welcome back!
