Looking Ahead Weekends or Monday morning are a great time to post a municipal week ahead. What is on the mayor's schedule? What are the most important public meetings? What's are some top agenda items? A newsroom that is on top of this information every week is a newsroom adept at planning. A newsroom that distributes this information every week to readers is a newsroom that understands our process is our product.
