EDITORS:

John Bechtel

Ask the Editor — To everything, there is a news cycle
The Book of Ecclesiastes and Pete Seeger tell us for everything, there is a season.



Teresa Bell-Stockman

Ask the Editor — Covering the news, not predicting it
There's magic in the air -- well, not really.



Jason Brennan

Ask the Editor — Nixing story comments isn't a decision taken lightly
You know this old saying: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."



Cliff Cumber

Ask the Editor — Standing watch
Write down this e-mail address:



Comfort Dorn

Ask the Editor — After an arrest, does the FNP drop the case?
Want to see your name in the paper?



Stan Goldberg

Ask the Editor — Back on the sidelines, back in the game
For the first time in 15 to 20 years I decided to cover Friday night high school football games this year instead of sitting in the office and helping out with pages. In doing so, I gained a new respect for my prep writers. I had forgotten how hard it is to cover high school football games.



Terry Headlee

Ask the Editor — Editorial page reflects what's on your minds, and ours
I've learned through the years there are plenty of individuals with diverse opinions on a variety of topics.



Nancy Luse

Ask the Editor — Not too early to sing 'Jingle Bells'
At the risk of rushing the season, we're already thinking about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in The News-Post features department.



Josh Smith

Ask the Editor — The tightrope of covering local sports
The name of this column is a little deceiving today. No one directly asked me a question, per se, to prompt this particular "Ask the Editor." But in this space, I'll address something in general that readers of our sports section often ask about.



Terence Walsh

Ask the Editor — Breaking news, late news and juggling
Journalism has never been a 9-to-5 job.



Rob Walters

Ask the Editor — Taking sunshine for granted
A gunman opened fire on a motorcade, critically wounding two Soviet cosmonauts.



Sam Yu

Ask the Editor — Breaking news never sleeps
I've been asked by police and fire and rescue personnel from time to time whether I ever sleep.
