What we’re working on: Jan. 2
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.
One of the stories we’re working on for the front page is a look at the number of homicides in York County and York city last year and comparing the number to the previous several years. Are there any specific questions you think we should ask the county coroner or police chiefs? Any homicides you have followed closely?
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.
