It was a good Double-D-Day…
Today marked the first of what I've called "a series of shameless bribes to get people to hang out in our newsrooms more often," aka Downtown Donut Day.
The addition of two dozen Dunkin Donuts to Student Media's newsroom in Downtown Phoenix brought "more people than ever" to the new newsroom, in the words of Phil, one of our reporters.
Phil, who has been one of our Downtown stalwarts, said there were as many as five or six people in the Downtown newsroom at once today. That sounds like a mission accomplished, if you ask me. Heck, I'd like to see those numbers during daylight hours at our older newsroom in Tempe.
Anyway, many things did not go quite as planned today, and much of the day was frustrating for me... but at least Downtown Donut Day was a sugary success.
