That's what Mercury News editor Dave Butler tells his staff in a "here's-my-vision" memo. Some other points:
* "We need to pick up the pace of everything we do, from the number and timeliness of local stories, to how quickly management makes decisions."
* "I know that no matter how many times I say this, many people will come away thinking that all I want to do is to increase the local story or byline count. That is not what I am saying, but I am telling each of you that the days when you had 2 days to work on a story that could be done in 1 are over."
* "The next few years undoubtedly will be challenging for newspapers. If you’re unwilling to change, to experiment, to seek out new adventures, then you’re probably in the wrong business."
