When a mass shooter opened fire on a Fourth of July parade in a Chicago suburb, the Chicago Sun-Times’ Washington bureau chief, Lynn Sweet, happened to be at the parade.
Jennifer Kho, the paper’s new executive editor, had been on the job for three weeks. Kho read me Sweet’s first post on the city desk Slack channel. “Heads up. So, I’m at that Highland Park parade, possible shooting incident, panic hitting parade, call me.”
That channel became the primary place for coordinating the breaking news coverage.
