Ms. Belliveau works with the day editor to execute daily and Sunday Business section plans; handles staff and wire-service stories and prepares them for electronic transmittal to the copy desk for further editing, headline writing and preparation for typesetting. She also selects photographs and artwork for publication, relying in part on the assignments made earlier by other editors and reporters. She works with a layout editor to determine the design and appearance of Business section pages.
Michael T. Dresser (332-6585) is in charge of Maryland Business Weekly. Mr. Dresser works with other staff members to assign and prepare stories and features for MBW, coordinates photographic and artwork assignments with the photography and art departments, reviews MBW coverage requests, determines where the stories and features will appear in each week's section and prepares material for electronic transmittal to the copy desk for further editing, headline writing and preparation for typesetting.
Clay Perry (332-6145) is in charge of the Sunday Real Estate section and MBW Reports, a series of special reports on various industries and business subjects that appears inside MBW. Mr. Perry works with other staff members to assign and prepare stories and features for the Real Estate section and MBW Reports, coordinates photographic and artwork assignments with photography and art departments, works with free-lance writers on story assignments, determines where the stories and features will appear in both sections and prepares material for electronic transmittal to the copy desk for further editing, headline writing and preparation for typesetting.

Ms. Arons is responsible for gathering information, processing and publishing this 500-page guide to Maryland business, which includes a 200-page survey of publicly traded and privately owned businesses, plus 20-page to 60-page chapters on demographics, government, amenities, education, health services, business services, economics and employment, and production and trade.
Ms. Arons also helps gather and process extensive lists of information that appear in MBW Reports and other Business sections.
Judy Yao, a copy editor, lays out most of the pages that appear in our sections, working with the various editors to determine how and where they want stories displayed, what our artwork choices are and the like. Ms. Yao's layout sheets are then taken to the copy desk, where, as noted above, they provide copy editors with information about how much space each story can occupy, what its headline size should be and other special typography needs.
Mike Levene (332-6006) is head of the business copy desk, and five other copy editors work extensively on business-desk content: David Allerhand, Jerry Bayne, Ted Chan, Elisabeth Hoffman, Kasey Jones and Karen Warmkessel.
Although columnists like to think they have the last word on matters, it's actually the copy desk folks who have that honor, and we don't liwn ods g fkam dnt. Pan glth's all I have to trf on this matter.
Sincerely,
Philip Moeller (332-6213)
