Getting Wired: Kathleen Carroll and AP's New Image
Among the things AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll has introduced are requiring reporters to write a 100-word version of each story before diving into the complete report, which enables news to get out within minutes of the reporting being completed, as well as providing a brief account for newspapers. As Carroll points out, "There are newspaper readers who only want that 100 words."

To RON FOURNIER and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers,
Associated Press writers Nancy Benac, Julie Carr Smyth, Philip Elliot, Julie Pace and Sonya Ross who contributed to this story:
Do you think that racial views will steer some black Republicans away from McCain?
Oh, there are no black republicans? I beg to differ, but none the less, it would not make as good a story as the "poor black man who is being denied something just because he's black."
Give me a freakin' break. Just look at your TV or the movie industry or the sports industry, which today are saturated with black TV stars, Movie Stars and Sports Figures! Who is one of the wealthiest women in the world? Oprah! It's time to put away the "poor me" card and write stories that talk about issues and results instead of race.
