Remember that reporters usually have written the story in their mind before they start.

Of course, in Times speak this means the reporter writing the story.

"But I'm not ready to have any reporters write about our work here."

A former reporter, he has also written about other subjects.

Especially if the reporters are writing for newspapers far from the scene.

If reporters wrote stories the way some scientists seem to want, few people would read science coverage.

One reporter wrote that all the town needed "is a railroad"

Their stories took more time to fix than if the paper's regular reporters had written them in the first place.

So sometimes one reporter writes several versions of a story.

Its easy for a yahoo reporter to write about ways a team can win a ball game.
