No steak.
So the editors decided not to run my prison industry story as an A1 centerpiece. They said it's a good business profile but lacks the tension that an A1 story needs. It's being held to a later date for the business section.
Sorry guys. I let you down. I thought this was going to be the one, but it wasn't.
I'll keep on trying.
Adios.

if it makes you feel better, i have 0 A1 stories...don't feel like you let us down.
uh, i need A1 :)
Making A1 is like throwing a curveball. First few times you think it's really cool, but after a while it becoems just one of those thigns.
unless you have a barry zito curveball...then it's cool all the time.
until somebody gets it and takes it out to Ownedville.
Making A1 has its perks, but it all depends on your paper. Most metros stock the page with national and international stories from wire or NYT News Service. And if you're at a larger paper, remember this: it's a great paper because you read beyond the section fronts. Take pride in your handful of B3s, C5s. Those might end up being your best stories. They were for me when I interned in Cleveland.
