SHNS Republican convention advisory

EDITORS:

Scripps Howard News Service will offer a daily assortment from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. It will include stories, editorials and op-ed columns that capture the substance -- and silliness -- of this sure-to-be historic event.

Through our partnership with the Minneapolis Star Tribune, we will tap into hundreds of reporters, columnists and others chronicling the highs and lows of the convention.

Each day, we will file a convention budget slugged "gopsked" that will feature:

-- Stories by SHNS' team of seasoned political reporters, plus others by regional reporters.

-- A daily notebook of odd, surprising, funny and telling moments.

-- Editorials by Scripps Howard News Service's chief editorial writer Dale McFeatters.

-- Columns by an award-winning roster of national columnists with close to 100 years of collective White House and Washington experience, including Jay Ambrose, former Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers and past editor of the Rocky Mountain News; and Ann McFeatters, who has covered the White House for more than 20 years and writes the weekly "White House Watch" column for SHNS.
