That”s a good point, Ray. I guess we're back to the days of morning,
afternoon and evening editions :-)

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Your new model — “report, write, edit, publish, edit, write, report, publish” — is the way newsgathering and reporting have worked in my lifetime (57 years). It just hasn't looked like a continuum. For the newspaper world, I would structure your phrase as: “report, write, edit, publish, followup report, write second-day story, edit, publish, followup report, write weekend story, edit, publish” until the story runs out of steam.

That's a great way of putting it, David.
