One day in the editorial offices of OTN

Publisher: Our readers are crying out for more juicy behind-the-scenes stories and scandals. They want to be in on the inside.
 
Senior Editor: We can do that for them. That’s the OTN way.
 
Junior Editor: I’ve got a great piece on a sex scandal that’s rocking one of our big art museums...
 
Publisher: I have a conflict of interest there so, forget it.
 
Features Editor: We could run that story on directors and their plastic surgery mishaps. The photos are amazing.
 
Illustrations Editor: No, no those close-ups will just put people off.
 
Senior Editor: Well we have to post something!
 
Junior Features Writer: How about doing a compilation of our ‘One day in the…’ features?
 
Senior Editor: Haven’t we done that before?
 
Senior Researcher: Well, kind of, but not for a few years.
 
Production Manager: Do you think we’ll get away with it?

They did.
