After a few quick web searches, I’m still confused whether free promotional items are called “swag” or “schwag” and I will be the first to admit that I’m not the essential copy editor.

And here’s a shot of some of us (including Long Beach Register editor Paul Eakins and Long Beach Register publisher Ian Lamont) waiting for our staff photo to be taken last week.
