So I'd like to add one to the list:<br /><br />Track the traffic of your stories online, and use that information to plan your coverage. You shouldn't be a slave to traffic -- you should continue to write what you think is important -- but traffic will tell you what your readers are interested in. And you should be writing what you readers are interested in. Glad you guys liked the piece.
