How the Press works
A guide to this paper's desks and the standard every one of them files under.
News is the front door — what happened in Winnipeg today. Sports runs from the community rink to the downtown arena. Politics covers city hall and the legislature from the record out. Business follows the city's economy at street level. Arts covers the stages and galleries of a city that punches above its weight. Opinion is signed and labelled, always.
Every desk works the same way: agendas and records before characterizations, named sources wherever possible, and a clear line between reporting and opinion. Wire items pointing at another outlet's work say so and link to it.
This first edition is about the paper rather than the city — an honest introduction beats manufactured news. The reporting starts as the newsroom files; subscribe on the front page and it lands in your inbox every weekday.
