HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO HELP IMPROVE THE A.P. REPORT Sounding Board members do not have to be managing editors. Indeed, in large newsrooms this is probably a task best left to the front-line editors who handle the wire report. To sign up someone from your newsroom, please send the editor's name, job title and e-mail address to Sounding Board chairman Troy Turner (tturner@daily-times.com) at the Daily Times in Farmington, N.M., and to vice chair Kevin Whitmer (kwhitmer@starledger.com) at the Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J.
