How to upgrade your story planning and meetings

Journalists, members of Digital First Media and pretty much everyone else who wants to - are going to be taking part on the weekly Twitter chat at noon, Eastern Time.

Today we are talking about story planning and the meeting formerly known as the Page One story budget. Let's rethink this thing. How do do you include digital tools into the workflow in the planning stage? How much time should be spent planning the front page of a print edition? Bring in your ideas— and your #realtalk.

You can check out past chats over here. If you use Tweetchat you don't have to type the hashtag.

If you want to chime in, post a comment in the container or a tweet with the hashtag "#dfmchat" so it can automatically appear below.
