Next week, the Chronicle will essentially produce three issues in one
week, because for the first time since we went weekly, we will be publishing
during both Christmas and New Year’s weeks. This should make for an unusually
crazed period, and waiting until the last minute to contact us probably won’t
work. The “normal” issue, #16, will be published on December 19 (dated December
20). The staff will then do most of the work on the next two issues, #17 and
#18. Here is the schedule as we know it:

Issue #17 is dated Friday, Dec. 27, 1996.

Issue #18 is dated Friday, January 3, 1997.

Editorial deadline (news, letters, listings, etc.) for both issues is 5pm
Thursday, Dec. 19.

Advertising deadline for both issues is 5pm Thursday, Dec. 19.

Classified deadlines will be each Monday at noon: Dec. 23 for #17, Dec. 30 for
#18.

Distribution will be on Tuesdays, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

Office Hours will be announced next week.

Issue #19, dated Friday, Jan. 10, 1997, will be back to normal deadlines and
distribution.
