The new media gallery is ready to go up; the blog just needs a final edit and the video feature just needs to be uploaded – but wait there’s something wrong with the content management system and the internet seems to have gone off on lunch break – now we can be calm and resolve each issue turn by turn or we can hyperventilate, create chaos and turn the newsroom into a complete battlefield.
Of course, we’d choose the latter option – such a diverse group of professionals with so many dreams collapsing minute after minute, how can we not create a chaos? Welcome to the world of online journalism. Here, it is not just about fact-checking, close-cropping and impeccable editing. Here, we do all of that and more – chase the internet until it runs faster, figure out computer languages we never thought we’d really need to learn and swear at Photoshop as if it were our sworn enemy.
And just when we think that we have everything going right for us, there comes a fatal DDOS attack (what that exactly means, majority of us don’t even know) killing the website until someone finds a crash-cart and revives it back to life. While life is being breathed back into the website, we vow not care about this job anymore and pursue something different until someone from the next room yells out ‘website’s back’ and all of a sudden the deadly vows are forgotten and the rat race to publish the breaking news (which, lets face it has already been cracked by now if not broken) starts.
To make a long story short, Dawn.com apologises to its readers for its inconsistent behavior and to compensate for being a bit unstable lately, we present to you a ‘new and improved’ design (clichéd but completely true). We value the feedback, the anger and the miss-you cards we’ve received and hope to provide you with a better online experience in the future.
