A simpler solution for the South Bend Tribune staff

Much reaction today to the leaked memo from the assistant managing editor of the South Bend Tribune ordering staff to write a memo at the end of the day explaining -- in excruciating, kill-me-now detail -- what they have done and what they will do tomorrow.

Rather than take sides on this issue (although one could argue this, like kitten torture, is a story for which there is no equal and opposite reaction), may I propose that every reporter at the South Bend Tribune:

• start a blog or open a Twitter account;

• post links to their stories as they go online;

• tell their readers what they'll be covering tomorrow.

I mean, why keep all this juicy newsroom detail under wraps? Unless, you know, the editors are paranoid or something. Oh, wait ... well, that's why I posted CareerBuilder's Super Bowl ad.
