Newspaper Pitch

While I am sure most students at The Graham school are fully aware and have opinions on the current changes to the overall school and staff, I'd like to make it apparent in a newspaper article just what exactly is happening, as I'm sure some students are unaware.  This article would detail the full extent of the changes to the school, and provide essential information to some of the underclassmen. I would gain this information by interviewing Evan about these changes. This would be beneficial to the entire school, as I hear a lot of students mentioning how the new way of doing things is confusing to them. It would also detail how the school used to be, seeing as a lot of the new students most likely don't know how much it has changed.  

In order to gain the most beneficial information for my article, I will ask things like why these changes were made, why the staff thought them important to make, and why the previous aspects of the school were suddenly insufficient. These questions are coming from a place of both genuine curiosity, and the desire to let students know what's going on and why. 

What Is News?

What is news? When I think of news, I think of the harsh, but sugar-coated, realities that our local news stations grant us, along with the overplayed and overused footage that CNN plays on a loop all day. But really, that's not what news is. Or, rather, not what it should be. News is when we open up our laptops or unlock our phones and listen to NPR, or go on Yahoo and read the headlines. News isn't sugar-coated and it's not for the faint of heart. It's is not what the Kardashians are doing this week, or what kids are looking at on their phones. News is the cold, hard facts. It's waking up in the morning and finding out what's going on in the world, and what's going on in your neighborhood. I don't care about Miley Cyrus' wardrobe malfunction, I care if there's a sex offender living down the street.
