Reporters from the Tracy Press and Patterson Irrigator met with veteran storytellers Jeff Jardine and Larry Minner from The Modesto Bee today over pizza.
We talked about the job of reporters, which is to find news and tell stories. That doesn't always come easily, and as Jardine reminded us, we need to get out of the newsroom and out into the town, talk to people everywhere we go and dig to get the good stuff.

My lesson: local. local. local. Do it better than anyone and give commuters with choices a REASON to pick up the Press.

When can we have an archive of old articles online? Why do you take old stuff off? Why not archive? I know I can go down to the libary and do it, but online is better. I am ready to pay for it.
From Cheri: You can search for articles on the Web site starting from sometime last summer. You can also use the Google search engine and pull up archives. We aren't quite there yet with anything older than about July 2005.
