This week's print edition is going to be really special

I haven't been this excited to hold a newspaper in my hand in a long time.

It's been incredible working as a team covering the situation going on in Dexter. Virtually our entire staff was phasing and shifting in and out of field reporting and telecommuting for nearly five days.

We produced over 40 stories, hundreds of photos and more than a dozen videos; and somehow it still doesn't feel like we captured enough of what has happened.

This has been an exciting time to be a reporter. At our best we are chroniclers of local history as it happens, and never has this felt more poignant that it has over the past couple of days.

Please let us know how the print edition looks and how our coverage online turned out. Also keep your eyes opened for a documentary video that our staff is working on as I type this. The team collectively took an amazing amount of video since Thursday.

Reporter James Dickson has a lot of great material to work with, so when it's done it should be something to behold.
