Overheard in the Newsroom

My new favorite website: http://overheardinthenewsroom.com/

I’ve heard these or versions of these before:

**

Editor-in-Chief: “You know, I always hated it when the media sensationalized deaths, but now that I have a death story, I so want to do it!”

**

Photographer: “Can we find someone who’s unemployed and follow them?”
Business reporter: “I don’t know, there’s not that many.”

**

Reporter to another reporter: “The young girl’s mother is a stripper? She didn’t tell ME that when I spoke to her.”

**

“We’ll still be able to do good work for at least a few more months.”

**

“Now that I threw up I should be fine.”

**

“The journalist in me loves you for doing stuff like this. But the boss in me wants to choke the crap out of you.”

**

My newspaper-editor roommate leaving the house: “I’m going to Starbucks. I mean work.”

**

Editor to reporter:
“Let’s move voodoo dolls higher… because you just can’t go wrong with voodoo dolls.”

**

Editor 1: “Grammar Nazi.”
Editor 2: “I’m not a grammar Nazi. That’s the point. I’m a grammar enthusiast.”

**

Reporter: It’s raining.
Designer: Where?
Reporter: Outside.

I may have said some of them too.
