Where you get up-to-date information on noted issues, and progress reports on check-ins with newsrooms
NONE SCHEDULED CURRENTLY
SSH MARKETS- The shared markets module comes out later than this deadline so the site provides the elements to place manually and it takes some time. DON'T WAIT TO DO THIS PAGE if you can get it started.
KHP/YNT/GII- Whenever possible get obits placed early and proofed if not waiting on jumps or other content. Please note any proofing issues until it is resolved.
LCH- Look for content ready pages the day before production on Sunday and Thursday nights. Anything done the day before helps the cluttered deadline window the next day.
NC GROUP- HDR/STA/MNH/MMN/CIT/MOT- Aim to get 90% of their content in the day prior to production date. Keep eyes out for it.
Check in with site channels for assigned publications at the beginning of your shifts even on E-Edition days.
Read budgets carefully and ask questions when you're unclear
Keep eyes on early content ready - address complex pages first if possible

IN PROGRESS: LJS is requesting we manually tone b/w photos especially obits.
This is the result of our toning needing some tweaks so we will oblige until that issue is resolved.
IN PROGRESS: GNR/WSJ 2nd opn page- content ready late and held onto.
INVESTIGATION INFO: Over the last 5 weeks this page was late for both pubs every week except for GNR the week of 2/8. Proof time varies anywhere from 6 minutes to 47 minutes.
ACTION: I have reached out to Allen Johnson and asked for some context and implied we're hoping to work toward a solution to eliminate this page missing deadline every week for both pubs.
PENDING: SCJ editor Dave Dreeszen has been struggling to get this pub out. He seems to be solo- investigation is underway.
There were several suggestions in the TL meeting to help this pub. Will discuss in Design Manager meeting to determine possible steps.
UPDATE: Full site assessment has been completed for JAN/FEB and passed up to Tammy. Will act according to her guidance once it's reviewed.
IN PROGRES: Reported FLS/MUN budgeting the Nation World module in the Monday EEs.
Action: Amy has audited the 6 day and DEC/MAT/BIS pubs' Monday EEs to see what shared content and how much is budgeted. Tammy has notes and we will be deciding on how to proceed with each group.
ROA/LNA/MNI- Only pubs requestiong the later NW option as well.
ON HOLD: BDM/WNV quote style isn't translating properly. Requested screen grabs, and to submit a CS ticket so Terry can look into it.
Action: Terry is on leave so we have a holding place that Tammy and James R can possibly help with some of these otherwise we'll keep them stored until his return.
IN PROGRESS: Text is occasionally disappearing until moving a cursor or zooming in or out- at random. Not sure what the cause might be.
This issue doesn't have a solution but does not prevent work. Rick and I will be observing and documenting anything related and trying to research possible causes.
