Alexandria, Va.: Among the many things that impresses me about the Post's writers is that, in their role as chatters, they always know a lot about what's in the paper. How early do you have to get up to read the paper, get to work, and begin the day before signing onto one of these chats? What parts of the paper are you most likely to read? to skip? Jim VandeHei: I typically get up early, a little after 5. I read The Post, the New York Times, skim the LA Times and the WSJ. My first stop is to three sites that write about the [Green Bay] Packers. But I also look at a lot of web sites. As for sections, I am a news and sports guy.
