The Cycle
The day's hours from open to close and what changes after lunch.
07:30 · Open
Room opens. Overnight tips reviewed. Morning stack assignments posted.
09:00 · First wave
First publication window. Sourcing rules tighten after the handover.
12:00 · Noon file
Main pieces with document checks prioritised.
15:30 · Mid-afternoon check
Hold items reviewed for next morning. Fix notices cleared.
18:00 · Close
Desk closed to the public. Mail monitored until 18:30 for urgent corrections.
After lunch, anonymous tips are held rather than rushed. A piece that cannot clear the source book waits on the stack until the next morning.
After lunch
The afternoon shift tightens sourcing rather than rushing. Anonymous tips received after 12:00 are held for the next morning unless a document clears them earlier. The 15:30 check reviews every hold label and prepares the close note for 17:45.
Mail is monitored until 18:30 for urgent corrections only. Everything else waits for the 07:30 open and a fresh read against the source book.
