When they're trying to get the paper out, Logan tells Rory that she can "cannibalize everything for the Friday issue and use it tonight" but their date was Thursday night meaning this paper IS Friday's issue.
This is one of the episodes in which we see Adam Hendershott as A.K., a member of the Yale Daily News team. Doyle, played by Danny Strong, was the editor of the newspaper previous year. Hendershott and Strong co-started in the movie "Sydney White" the following year, playing characters Jeremy and Gurkin, respectively.
