That seems like it would be what we need. I think this will really enhance the look of short stories.

We were talking just last week about the ability to restrict photo purchasing for mugshots because of mugshots we get from law enforcement and the court system. So I'm all for something that auto-disables mugshots from being sold.


I also made a topic a few weeks ago asking for a broader definition of auto-disabled sales. For instance we typically say "Provided" when a photo is provided. It's something we've done for years. And that means people are going to be really slow to adopt a new way of tagging a photo to not be sold. Our editors try to remember #nosale but some inevitably get through without that keyword. For those times it would be nice to have another filter(such as anything with "provided" or whatever set text in the byline) to pick up the others.

Our Whiz app just has a link that opens the web page inside the app rather than a specific app page. We use Youtube assets. I'm not sure if that was the determining factor or not.

I think its simplicity is what I like about it. BLOX makes it VERY easy to put way too much content on the home page. And nothing against BLOX for allowing that, it's up to us to be responsible with what we put on our pages. I constantly battle having a cluttered home page. I'll revisit it every few weeks to see what needs to stay, go or change.

That was just a spam comment and it was deleted.

I really like the idea of going full width because it's "featury" and it seems to be the way the web is going. But I'd like to know some drawbacks from people who've adopted that layout. For instance with Southern Exposure the top half looks great but once the left and right regions end the rest of the page kinda fizzles out. I still really like the look of their website though.


I'm not sure what others TN sent you but here are some of the ones I've found:

My favorite is Technician because it's simple and it does a really good job of having the empty space not look empty mostly because of the background.

So you're doing quite well! (Sorry!)

Hahahahaha! Oh well. Like I said, I'm fine with leaving it up if it's making money.

The actual text is probably No earlier than "7 days ago." I'm going to attach an example because the wording is kinda tricky.


I REALLY wish our local PD would get with the 21st century and be able to provide dashcam and other video. It's great we have FOIA but it does absolutely no good if the PD gives us the run-around. I'm going to press harder for it the next time something happens. Our city is really backward when it comes to getting information to us.


Here's a question: What do you do with 911 audio? We get those from time to time. Do you put them in a video asset and upload it to Youtube or do you upload the audio straight into BLOX?
