Fire engulfed the True Value Hardware store Wednesday morning in Sharon Township. (Photo courtesy of Barry Allen) |
Most people in the village probably (or at least I hope they did) ran to pick up a copy of the Enterprise this morning, expecting to see coverage from the fire at the True Value Hardware store Wednesday morning, which was rendered a total loss.
Unfortunately, you won't see anything in there regarding the fire, and I want to explain why.
The print product is produced on Tuesdays here at Heritage Media, and we try to have our content in for that by Monday night, although Tuesday mornings, in the case of Manchester Village Council meeting coverage. Since the fire took place after the paper had been produced and sent to the printer, we were rendered helpless to include it in the print product. There will be extensive coverage of the fire in next week's print edition.
However, that's the beauty of the internet. At manchesterenterprise.com, we've got a story, video and photos from the fire up before 2 p.m. the day of.
When news like this happens, we'll strive to have it online as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, our print product can't always catch up that quickly.
