N3: Nothing but Love Here, Mr. Currin


Where would I like to work when I grow up?  Hm.  Good question.  Let me think about that one for a little, okay?

Okay, I’m back.  I was just thinking about that for a week straight, but since this is a blog all time differentiation

Disappears.

My dream job is to run an online school newspaper.  If and when I achieve this job, I will do things quite differently than some other online newspaper chiefs.  Let me elaborate.

1.  I will consistently publish the online paper every Deadline Day.  This way, the people who read my paper will know exactly when to expect the next issue.

2.  I will not let blindingly obvious typos like “Cnsolidation through the Eyes of a Sophomore” be the front page article of my paper.

 

3.  I will never publish a paper that is not completely put together.

 

4.  I will not create a tab that says “Crime Files”, and then put a Dear Jake article under that tab.

 

5.  I will not let frauds write for my paper.

 

6.  I will not pile an unnecessary amount of blogs on top of my reporters.

 

7.  I will not ‘skip’ a Reporter of the Month Award.

 

8.  I will make sure whoever is in charge of my paper’s Facebook page uses correct grammar and punctuation in their posts.

 

9.  I will make the public know that my paper actually exists.

 

10.  I will not assign a reporter that does absolutely no reporting to a story that no one cares about over and over again.

I think once I accomplish these ten items, I will have a newspaper that will thrive in whatever school I work for, and beat the crap out of any news station that the school I work for also happens to be broadcasting.
