Making a media analysis at work: When you have hundreds of newspaper articles, there is no other way to control that amount of info than to print every single one. Also, the only way to control that large amount of prints is to make notes - and by hand. So I just wrote 50 pages of notes. Tomorrow I will transfer to use this new invention called computer to write the actual thing.

Welcome to the paperless office...

That sounds familiar! I used to tape record these really, really long meetings... like six plus hours, and take notes. Then I found that it would take me six hours to review those tapes, and more time than that just to make sure I was accurate. I found it a lot more efficient, especially when my deadline was a quick turnaround, just to improve my shorthand and make sure to clarify any questions at the end of the meeting. Sadly, having a fancy recorder didn't really make my time any more efficient! :(

At least recording will leave a nice and official looking paper trail, at least for so long as you record it over. You can always think that your recorder will be the black box when someone throws a bomb in the meeting...
