Okay. This is a good one coming off the writers workshop. Got an email from a guy at a mid-sized paper who wants to do good stuff and he’s challenged because the bosses don’t get it. News should be “news” and features should contain 14 adverbs and pertain to the elderly and how to cook chicken in new and exciting ways.
Also, the guy wants to stay and make the place better.
How do you break through the editor wall? he asks.
So help your brother out.
