Like eating ice cream

Eating an ice cream cone is like working at a newspaper. You have to constantly watch the edges of the cone for any possible drips. Sometimes a drip comes really close to falling off the cone because your attention was on another drip, but you catch it at the last minute. Other drips get on your clothes. The end of the cone, when ice cream starts melting out the bottom, is like deadline.

The above is a discussion I had with the editor-in-chief as we walked back from covering an event while eating Ferdinand's ice cream. She made the comparison.

a tv station is like putting said ice cream in a blender without the lid... you send your few resources aimlessly flying around town/the state, and hope it covers everything.

or something like that
