Readers don’t realize what it takes to write and publish a story. Most stories require a personal visit, which can take an hour or more. A recent council meeting lasted five hours. Most assignments require photographs. We take many pictures. The pictures must be uploaded to our main computer. Then write the article based on notes, documents, research, police reports, etc. After writing the article, we go back and review the photographs to choose which one(s) better illustrates the story. We convert the photo(s) into Photoshop and resize it to fit the website’s specifications. Then all photos are uploaded to our server with the story. That’s where the magic happens. We write a caption for the photos and a headline before publishing the story. That process can take anywhere from an hour to five or six hours.
Parsippany Focus publishes stories of all types: Council Meetings, Planning Board Meetings, Zoning Board of Adjustment Meetings, Grand Opening Ribbon Cuttings, Police News, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Sports, School News, Restaurant Reviews, Social Happenings, Death Notices, all the news that makes Parsippany Focus a publication serving the 56,162 residents of Parsippany-Troy Hills.
