the kind of thing we're thinking about. i think?

Hey everyone,
I read my two online newspaper editions from home everyday when I'm at school, and this article in this morning's edition stuck out at me. It's about a seventh grade girl who really enjoys politics over more traditional middle school activities. Anyway, the point is ... this girl is someone's friend, and I'm sure her friends would love to read about her. This is ONE of the types of articles the news organizations can provide to users ... articles about classmates in your network. As you can see from the article, the Union Leader loves to keep all the links of related stories in other stories. Maybe kids will click around and begin reading more news. One step at a time. Anyway, it's worth checking out, especially if there was still confusion about on aspect of news sponsorship involvement. Here it is.

Also, did everyone receive the Locker Talker outline attachment okay? Let me know if you didn't get it and an email address you use.

Thanks!
Andrea

I'm glad to have read this, it makes me think that if there are girls like this out there that the first few users won't have to be lured in by any gimmick, but that it is filling some need that they naturally have. nice.



"If there was a politics video game, kids would be all over it," she said. "I don't like video games; I like politics."

- very cool
