In my newsroom, not only is cursing not OK, any sort of loudness is not allowed.
Last week, all four of the sports people were told by the EIC that we had gotten so out of hand that some of the news reporters wouldn't come into the office at night on our account. I guess they complained it was a little too distracting. We were all threatened with being suspended for a day without pay if there were any further problems.
Since when are the forking news reporters in the gosh darn newsroom at night?
At our paper, election night. And they act like it's some big forking sacrifice. Then they complain when sports people start eating the pizza brought in to atone for this huge inconvenience.
First football Friday night, come in about four and buy the staff pizza at 5... when Newsside comes over, complain loudly
my shop takes individual orders for every person in the newsroom come election night ... basically, we all get our own pizzas. heck, this place has made me appreciate election night and those pussies in news bitching about working after sunset.
