First and foremost, we have just one full-time reporter on staff. His schedule becomes very full, very quickly. Monday and Tuesday nights, in particular, are very busy, with school boards, selectmen and other boards all meeting on the same night. This makes things a scheduling nightmare. For that reason, we also have a “stringer” available to us to cover one meeting on Mondays and one meeting on Tuesdays. However, we are only budgeted a certain amount per month for that position, which often means that we can’t cover every one of the meetings he usually covers. There are just too many committees, boards and other groups for us to physically cover all of them with a staff of one reporter. We often get inquiries about sending someone to an event here and there and people quite often assume that we have more than one person. The fact is, we don’t.
