The Eagle-Tribune accidentally publishes a page-one memo

The Eagle-Tribune, which is based in North Andover and serves the Merrimack Valley, accidentally published its page-one memo for Aug. 3 on its website. An alert reader sent it to me. It has since been taken down, but I saved it in Evernote. Nothing scandalous, but I thought you might get a kick out of getting a look at the sausage-making process. Below is the front page that the memo describes.

      That’s the story that’s headlined “Trahan: Trump sought to ‘overturn the will of the people.'”

    This is fascinating! As an editor myself, I love getting a peek at the process that other newspapers use in their layout process. This is rather different than the way I do it, and that is really intriguing to me. Much to learn!
