New workstation

Today we welcomed a new super-performance computer in our newsroom (Lenovo) that can be used as a workstation for news design stage. We are expecting the company would provide us two additional computers in the near future. If any business that is interested in selling desktop computer to us in exchange for placing advertisement on the newspaper, The UB Post, we are glad to hear.

Newsroom Wishlist: AP Stylebook

Our former English Editor Deirdre Tynan, created a user access to the online AP style guide for us at The UB Post on July 10. Thank you Deirdre! This is very helpful for us. So, one of our newsroom wishlist is solved. We used to have a hardcopy of the AP Stylebook 2000. But it was lost when we moved to here some years ago. We were using electronic version (PDF) of the 2000 edition that Robin Pairman downloaded from somewhere on the Internet since it was lost. Now, I restarted compiling The UB Post's own stylebook with the latest Mongolian names and terms. We welcome your entries.
