Let us know. Let us know of any suggestions you might have. More info to follow shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog lover Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sounds interesting... I might join in. I remember doing class newspapers in library class in like 7th grade. My mom was the librarian, so I was the lucky one who got to type up all of the newspapers. XD ~Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Biggest Fan Of Fuzzy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 That sounds awesome! I wish I possesed a talent to help out, psht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom_king Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 There's a lot of photographers here who could definitely help out. Perhaps I could lend my writing talents to it? I don't really know what I'd write, though. I don't see movies often enough to write reviews, nor do I watch the news. Perhaps I could get a job writing music or video game reviews? I dunno. it sounds like a cool project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HampsterKing Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 It looks like we have the makings of a staff. (Or at least part of a staff.) Is there anyone who would be interested in writing "happy" news stories? If you are like me, you get depressed reading the newspaper or watching the news. Somewhere out there is a story that is inspiring or upbeat. Why does news always show the worst side of people? Any news stories submitted must be accurate and real. Thanks, HK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, HK I'll write some 'Happy' news stories, though I don't know where to get any happy news stories. I've only seen one or two happy news stories in my life.

Glowurm Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 A-ah... I'm bad at reporting, it's really not my strong suit in writing... so no news articles by me... but I'd like to be involved, somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesus Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I think it would be fun to report on things, really. I mean, What sort of things would the articles be about? Local news? International News? Hamster news? Kinda vague concept, but a good one none-the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was going to be my question, are we having news reports about our members here, about the world, our neighborhoods, all of the above? I love the happy news idea though.

HampsterKing Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 The news can be about almost anything. My vision is that people will come to our online newspaper to read stories and other items they might not find in the mainstream press.
