You've got deadlines to deal with, an approvals process with the Students Union ... and you've got the volunteer nature of the journalists involved.
So well done to editor James Snaith and his team at Waterfront.
The day after the final votes had been cast in Swansea University's all-important union elections, the tabloid's 2010 Election Special was eagerly being picked up all around campus.
When many were still discussing the newspaper's previous splash - on Florence and the Machine coming to play June's Summer Ball - plenty more were now gripped by the poll coverage.
Laura Richards and Angharad Williams penned the front page lead which focused on a hotly contested race for Educational Officer.
Alun Rhys Chivers and Collette Bird weighted in with a page one piece on the 3am anointing of Luke Young as union president to extend his reign.
Inside the impressive eight-page special there are by-lined election pieces by Charlie Teasdale, James Taylor, Ben Donovan, Lleu Williams, Kimberley De Selincourt, Sophie Evans and David Lewis.
Photographic by-lines go to Tim Bird and Silvia Gremlichaun Mandler.
With the Easter holiday approaching the special edition was a good way in which to go out for this term.
Well done to all involved.
