I’m Janieve Schnabel, the opinion editor for the Vanguard. I’m in production today, and it hasn’t gone smoothly.
For those who don’t know, production is what we call the time we spend editing and preparing the layout for the paper before we publish. It’s a relatively simple process as long as everyone works as a team. I’ll get into more detail at a later time.
