What we’re working on: Dec. 26
Here’s a look at our news budget at this hour for tomorrow’s paper. It also reflects much of what you’ll see on our website during the day.
Our budgets can and often will change a lot between now and tonight: Some stories will change as new information comes in, some stories will be added to the budget and others will be taken off.
We’ve got a story planned for the front page about people returning items today and shopping those great after-Christmas sales. Did you brave any stores or malls today? How’d it go?
What questions do you have about stories we’re working on, or about the budget form itself? Do you know of something we should be covering that you don’t see on the budget? Let us know by commenting here. And, check out our Google+ page for more conversation about how we’re covering the news.
