                  the week.  Schedule interviews, make contacts, research information, etc.  Also,
                  follow-up from last week's work - any need to see me to finalize multimedia.
  
• Week 2 - Tuesday - rough drafts due by 8pm for those publishing in round 1
                 Wednesday - photo/multimedia due by 8pm
                 Thursday - final drafts due by 8pm

                 Wednesday - photo/multimedia due by 8pm

You have lots of time to develop a story.  I shouldn't be hearing that you don't have what you need on the dates they are due.  If you have issues, you need to communicate about them ASAP.
