New Changes to the Paper

At the beginning of this project it was mostly planning and hope, now things are really starting to get to a point that can’t be controlled by just a few and we are having to depend on a lot more people to get our word out.  Because there are so many new people all the time, we decide to expand not only the size and shape of the paper but also it’s content. We will now cover things that don’t necessary have anything to do with marijuana but are still a part of the counter culture. We will now be covering not only the politics but art and entertainment as well.   Our next issue will be printed with soy based ink on recycled paper. We have a local artist named Kedrie Young who is doing the artwork for our cover. We have already gotten an approval from the UofM administration to pass out our flyer on campus to recruit citizen journalists who might want a shot at getting published. We are also currently being distributed to over twenty locations and next month we are in negotiations for another twenty ranging between Saginaw and Pontiac. We are going to try to stay inside Genesee County for our content and hopefully draw in as much out of town business as possible. Our last issue only had 500 print copies at twelve pages a copy. Are next issue is going to be 5000 copies with the same or more pages, depends on the new format and layout which is now someone else’s department, not to mention that while most of the articles are being written by dependable people, some of the stuff is being written by newbie’s so who knows if and when they’ll deliver. Not to worry I meet new and talented people every day.
