If it's finished, why can't you upload it now? 

(I'm impatient.)

It's supposed to come out every Sunday. Plus, the delay will add hype.

The next issue starts tomorrow. Sorry you haven't been able to help, but you will tomorrow! 

Ok, the first edition sneak peek looks good! Nice info and style. Very smooth! I will give you an extra progress report right now, I might just give progress reports for every newspaper edition. Here it is:

Dear Scratch Chatter,
          The first edition to your newspaper was simply good. Nothing absolutely amazing but good    . As you know, the scratch chatter has competition with the Scratch Times, so I want to maximize the level of graphics and writing! I will grade you on each individual sub-section so be prepared.
         First of all I will talk about the writing. The writing was great. It was on topic and totally true. No grammar or spelling mistakes either. Well done! This might be about graphics but the font could improve. You need a original but clear and visible font. Personally I think Scratch Times might have one this round 
         Second of all I will talk about graphics. The graphics was good. It was somewhat plain however, it just had a white backround and black colored text. I might do some hands on work with that. Maybe we need to double check the graphics section.
          Editing was great. Well I found no mistakes so good job! The ideas were good as well! Keep up the good work!
           Lastly, I would like to talk about advertising as well as popularity. Overall you are a lot more popular than your peers. Maybe even 6 times as popular than the Scratch times with 1 thread alone! Nice work...wingsgames takes most of the credit for really advertising!  However, the scratch times are a amazing newspaper. Great art and writing. For them it is only Agg725 basically so it is a lot more efficient, that is why we stopped taking members; it would be too much to handle. So you have a lot of catching up to do overall in terms of the actual newspaper but for now we are well ahead for popularity.

Grading:

Writing: 8/10 (no comment)

Graphics:5/10 (simple black and white, needs font change.)

Editing: 10/10 (no comment)

Ideas: 9/10 (could be more original....i guess......just trying to make you improve.)

Advertising: 9/10 (keep up momentum)

82/100 = 82%

I'm not sure if we should stop taking new members. We could maybe make a ranking system, so that everyone is constantly trying to get higher. What do you say?

My reveiw for this issue:

Writing: 8/10

Graphics: 4/10

Editing: 10/10

Ideas: 8/10

Advertising: 9/10

Why dont people like the graphics? Well, obviously we have to work on it. Maybe GIFS? I mean whats not to love with a GIF? I was also thinking comics would lighten it up abit
