A particularly strong breaking news week, and it offered the kind of variety that makes a reporter enjoy the job. Besides the newsletters, I posted an average of five stories a day. As usual this selection was comprised of news releases, localizing national news or highlighting Indiana's outcome as part of a broader national trend, and original item-gathering.
The week's online headlines included: Finish Line co-founder to retire, Twitter trim cuts spam for Indy-area tweeters, Indy picks firm to find revenue in city assets
I titled this story on Peyton Manning getting another commercial endorsement, this time with Wheaties, Cereal thriller: Manning, other stars tout Wheaties.
We had a good scoop in mid-week related to an aircraft firm hiring 500 in Indianapolis.
On Tuesday I rustled up a pretty good story off a tip about Rolls-Royce having a low-key cake ceremony to bring together employees who had worked on the Apollo missions from 1968 to 1972 that led the U.S. to get a man on the moon. This is how the story looked online.
