Hey there, Speakeasy crew!

I hope everyone is excited for our meeting tomorrow, where Erin
Coyle and Katie Gill will talk about how to go about gathering
information and writing ledes and nut graphs. For those of you to
whom those sounds like foreign terms, well, make sure you're
there!
And, for those of you who feel like you are experts, come anyway…
it'll be a good review.

After this wonderful workshop, we will be heading to Katie Gill's
house on West State for some punch and pie--it's important for us
to
have a little bonding time, don't you think? Feel free to bring
some kind of dessert. We will walk up as a group from Baker 327.
If you are late to the meeting and still want to come to Katie's,
call me at (740).590.1931 for directions.

Next week, we will be doing another great workshop with Professor
Patricia Westfall, who will be teaching us quality interview
techniques. If there are any other things you would like training
on, let one of us know and we will try and schedule something!
SPECIAL NOTE: This meeting will be in Scripps 114.

For the meeting next Tuesday (Feb. 15), we ask that you look at all
the sections we have, and make a list of sources (i.e. people you
know) that could be helpful in terms of writing an article about
them, publicizing what we are doing, etc. The story ideas sound
great so far--keep them coming!

Anyone interested in being on the advertising/launch team, email Liz
Gray (eg334703@ohio.edu) or Ellen Cox (ec226204@ohio.edu).

[Special notes for section editors: Please have a solid description
of your section written out, including guidelines for submission,
style issues, ethical issues that should be addressed (esp.
the "from our readers" section). If at all possible, Katie,
Caren
and I would like to have these emailed to us by this Thursday…
but
if that is too short of notice, next Tuesday is fine. Like I said
at the meeting we had with all of you last week, I would recommend
coming up with a set of questions that articles should vaguely
answer to determine which section will publish them. Also, by next
Tuesday we would like to have your editing/publishing schedule for
next quarter. Sorry if this seems like a lot of demands, but… we
gotta get it done! Would it be possible for us to meet with you
again this Thursday?]

As always, we welcome comments/complaints/suggestions/pleas for
help/offers of help. Let us know what you're thinking about how
things are going! If you want to be removed from this list, send a
blank email to: ouwebzine-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

See you tomorrow (Baker 327, 6 pm)!!!
