From the editor,s desk
Gentle Reader:
I want to take this space and time to welcome the assistance from five new folks who have stepped forward to help fill some of the shoes left vacant around here. In no particular order: Sheila Windle will be helping with editorial duties and design. Patrick Lane will be helping with editorial duties and layout. Joanne Rhee will be helping with advertisers, writing, and Korean connections. And June-jong will be helping with advertising and Korean connections. Sheila, Patrick and Joanne all have previous publication experience. Bill Barnes has stepped forward and offered his help with production. He has worked on a real newspaper in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas - small world isn’t it?
This is our anniversary issue. The paper is one year old this month. It has seen a lot of changes, and many more to come I’m sure. We will say a lot in celebration of our anniversary, so in this space I want to emphasize that the paper is not guaranteed to make it one month to the next. We all have to help the paper. Here’s what you can do:
1. SHOP WITH our ADVERTISERS
2. Tell them you saw their AD
3. Tell them you appreciate their support of our community.
We have seen our advertising revenue drop this month - pretty drastically, too - so, it is vitally important that you let our advertisers know their ads work! If you know anyone that might be interested in advertising with us, let me know, and I’ll try to contact them. Or, have them contact me directly.
So keep the good will flowin' to all around, and I'll be seein' you around town.
Your friendly editor,
Jon

THE PAPER JOBS:
Typing: have access to Dream Internet Café or an e-mail account.
Editing: have access to e-mail, and have decent English language skills.
Cut & Paste: be available on Sunday, and be able to cut and/or draw a straight line, and be able to use glue neatly!!!
Distribution: have a burning desire to visit cool places, and can lift bundles of newspaper.
Ad Asst: visit advertisiers, collect money, and have some creativity for making ads, and hopefully some computer skills, too.
A lot of the people who originated and continued the paper are moving on. To help out does not take a lot of effort, especially if there are a lot of people helping.
If you think you want to write an article, but are fresh out of ideas, consider the following:
* Review a Lotte Giants game, or a KBL game.
* Write a "What I did for the Summer" piece.
* Tell me what your favourite toilet (that isn't your own) is in Pusan and why (a potential composite piece).
* Review the attractions of your neighborhood.
* Tell us about your expectations of coming to Korea, and if they're being met.
* Explain the difference between Korean and Western age.
It’s fun! It’s wacky! It’s unpredictable!
What the hell is going on with
the mailing?
1. Somebody’s gotta step forward &
organize it. You’ve seen the job
I’ve done.
2. We will mail to those outside of,
Pusan and with a good sob story.
Remember mail is expensive
