I Need News

Hi everyone,
Um, well, see... I write a newspaper for my friends and I. It's not a school paper or anything cause we're all homeschooled but I do it 'cause one of my friends had this idea where we all have a business and he made paper money and stuff (it's like a life size Monopoly) and we could choose any company we wanted. He and his younger brother were gonna be journalists but couldn't gather enough news so they quit. Soon a birds nest fell to the ground with eggs in it in my backyard and i decided to write a newspaper. I "sold" it for five paper dollars but anyway, even though i didn't have pictures in mine like my friends were going to it was a hit. Now, after the game ended cause we got kinda bored with it, I'm still writing that paper.
I started it a little before August and now I'm writing the tenth edition.
It was a weekly paper but i didn't write and edition for a whole month
(religious stuff kept me busy)
and now it's been about four weeks since my last paper.
I didn't write one partly because we were out of black and colored ink for our printer and partly cause i don't have enough news.
I don't want my friends to think i stopped it completely and i like writing it. So if you have any interesting facts, news (not personal like "I got a new bike, or gaming console), or cool world records. Please tell me in this forum.
Thanks Scratchers! And scratch on!

Well, I don't think asking us will work, as you don't know us, and I don't think anyone would give info that happened to them personally.

Remember the family whose car was stolen and the dog was inside of it?
Someone confessed to that.

Oh, I didn't see the not personal part. I thought he meant personal things but not dumb stuff like that. But, um... Read the newspaper?

Re: I Need News

You could write about the conflicts in the middle east. There's this huge thing with Israel going on.

If you need less global news, search up a random city, (such as Hell, Michigan), and look at their local paper.

Or just copy whatever depressing thing is happening on the news (since it's only good news about once every other year).

Why wouldn't it belong? It's is about creating something, isn't it? So long as it focuses on the creation of the newspaper and doesn't turn into a discussion about the news, it should fit.

Okay but i think i'll delete it since most of the suggestions are either global news, things that haven't reached my ears, or are just not fit for a newspaper for tweens. Besides, if i make too much news and too many stories it might overload my printer's ink and i don't like making huge stories since one of my friends is dyslexic....

I'm in the 9-13 range, and I'm still interested in it (mostly because I have family in Israel...).

If you don't want to do conflict in the middle east, maybe write about the effects of Hurricane Sandy on some of the east coast towns.

Or again, get some news from a local paper from a random town...

I"m. not. too. sure.
Although i remember the Chia pet commercials and it's not really surprising that they've hit food aisles. Thanks for the help though!

Yeah, well my dad might not want me writing that in my paper and my friends might find it boring. Also, three of them want me to write weekly stories (continuing in every edition) only i want to be an author and i don't want to go and write a potentionally good story just for them to find a way to use it themselves.... ALthough that's kind of unlikely...  smile
