School Newspaper

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

There'll be a meeting after school on Friday to determine who's doing what and how often the paper will be published, as well as giving us the opportunity to pool our resources and figure out times to meet. Laptops not required, but fairly good grasp of the English language is, unless you're a photographer. I'm Editor in Chief at the moment, but comment saying whether you'd like write or photograph for the paper.

We probably don't want over twenty people to start out with, though once we've figured out how big our workload is and how often we're getting the paper out, we may ask for more people to join. Also, if your name is on the list with no job next to it, please tell me what you want to be doing.

Well, I can do pretty much anything writing-related. I'd love to do a fun column, but since I eventually want to be a serious journalist, I'd probably best just be a staff writer of some sort.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

A short column shouldn't be too hard to balance with serious articles. I'll put you down for both.

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Assistant? Remind me to be there.

[sensethevisions]

Of course.

*makes note to buy electronic data planner to keep track, as well*

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Also, when he's finished with this list, make sure one of you appends a copy http://www.livejournal.com/users/jerusalem_s/1425.html

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

You need a music reviewer or anything? Someone to report on local music?

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

That would be useful. Would you be interested in perhaps doing an entertainment column, or are you only interested in music?

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

No, no. Entertainment on the whole might be good. Wider variety of topics to cover. Put me down.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

You're in, and thank you.

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

Just glad I can help.

Probably drag my brother in by th' ear as well.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

We do need more regular writers, unless he wants to do something specialised, like a sports column.

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

Th' wee buggar is sleepin' just now, but I'll throw him yer way soon as he's conscious. Not sure what he'd want ta do. Just hopin' he'd want ta do somethin' useful, aye.

Not to worry, I'll write my columns with proper English.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that. Although we have a photographer with an Uberwaldean accent, so at least you won't be the only one who doesn't speak perfect English. But so long as the columns aren't written that way, you're fine.

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

Aye, I thought the subject might come up, and I'd best address it before hand.

In the meantime, I do believe my brother has the right idea. A good night's sleep is essential tonight with classes starting tomorrow...

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

D'you need a researcher or something? Because I'm good at finding stuff out.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we can use you somehow, and we may well need someone for research. I'll add you.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Oh goody. I suppose I can do other stuff as well. Edit "Lost and Wanted" perhaps. Or "List of Students Maimed by Faculty This Week"...

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea. We might also need a "Students Maimed by Lab Accidents or In-Class Stupidity" list, too, and we might even get away with calling it that.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Could get a little long for a headline, but SMLAICS doesn't exactly roll off the tongue either.

I suppose I should just start carrying around a notebook right off bat. I do not expect a nice, un-eventful start to the school year somehow.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

You could always just call it the List of the Injured.

I already do carry a notebook. It's useful anyway, for writing down homework assignments and stuff.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

List of the Injured - I like. Think I'm going to call it that. That would include students maimed by Biff too, wouldn't it?

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Biff? Is that the creature around the detention area?

But sure, I think so.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

It is the bouncer outside the faculty lounge. The giant pink teddy bear with fangs, y'know?

Dunno if the thing around the detention area has a name. Should check in to that. *makes note*

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. I haven't been past the faculty lounge yet. I'll make a note not to. Perhaps I should start crossing off little areas of the school on my map as too hazardous to go near, like the science labs.

[sensethevisions]

What about something like an editorial or investigative reporting column?

Failing that, I could always volunteer to write a gossip column.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

We could use an editorial section.

[lauraholt.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be involved in some way. Investigation and research are my stronger points, but I can help in whichever way.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

I'll just put your name down for right now, and we'll find something for you at the meeting.

[lauraholt.livejournal.com]

Sure that's fine, thanks!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fleurdelacour/]

I'd like to be part of ze newspaper, please. I would like to write a weekly article of some sort if zat is possible.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Do you have any suggestions what on?

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

I can write articles in addition to photography if needed.

Though, I should warn you, I got my last newspaper advisor fired because of an investigative report I did on bomb threats and fire drills at my school.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

I somehow think that at this school, bomb threats and fire drills aren't going to be the half of it. We'll take our chances.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me :)

[writer-jo.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'd love to write a serial thriller for the paper, if you'd be interested.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Sure, we could probably reserve the back page for that and a few little advertisements for clubs and the like.

[writer-jo.livejournal.com]

That sounds great. I'll get right to work.

[cool-bobby.livejournal.com]

*walks in, fiddling with a digital camera*

Um, I was wondering if you needed another photographer.

*camera beps, and the flash goes off*

Oops...
