two hours still seems like enough time though. especially if its written in a style similar to sites like pokernews, with the footnote "all views are authors only etc". although i guess a lot of your resources are understandably concentrated on the merger at this particular time.
I know im able to write a 600-700 word footy article from notes taken the day before, and edit it and send it off, whilst hungover on a sunday in under an hour. And although thats not national, approximately 3-4 thousand people read that every week.
a weekly wrap up wouldnt even have to be written by staff. maybe something could be written like 'bennymacca's bullet points, or trishans tidbits or whatever for a weekly pay and play card.
still seems doable to me.
Riskers gamble, experts calculate.
