Today, my article on the diving convention was published. What I did today was finish up the GHS stock market article (which will be published in the Saturday paper) and then listened in on some stuff that's happening around the office. There is something going on concerning a local organization that I'm not really sure I am allowed to discuss, so I am going to be VERY vague about this. But, in short, I believe that there was some information withheld from the paper that legally shouldn't have been. In any event, I think that these people have definitely learned their lesson with this one: I heard the legal guy leave a very scary / threatening message on this guy's voice mail. I do not think this will be happening any time soon. Tangling with the press can sometimes get ugly, apparently. In other news, I wrote my first press release as a favor to a friend this week. Ruby Allen, who is planning an open house for the business she is interning at, wanted me to help her write a press release in order to gain publicity for the event. It was good experience for me, because press release writing is actually a little different then AP style and journalistic writing, and I've never actually done it before. I kind of copied the ones that had come across my desk, and I think I did pretty well for my first time. It is the exact kind of article that I would get assigned - not particularly urgent, about something cute and nice and involving teenagers - so it might be funny if I end up writing from my own press release!

Look for my article about the stock competition in tomorrow's paper!
