News & Events - August 2006

I'm trying to think of some good stories for the newspaper in my small town. The problem is that there is very little going on so I am looking for something would not be timely, something for a feature or the like. I have been to Poynter.org and looked but haven't seen anything that would work for the paper. If any journalists or other people out there know of some sites that give some help with coming up with ideas, especially for small towns please let me know! Any site that would have a community forum or something of the like that relates to stories for newspapers would be fantastic too.Thanks and have a great day!

Prescot, building started, Americans think they have it. How sleaze wins. They should be thrown out of the contest. The person who will decide is a Prescot side kick, come on how currupt is this.

The authority that regulates IVF has said lesbian couples should be given the treatment. Is it not a fact that any species that procreate needs a male and female. I have nothing against gay or lesbians but I feel that nature should be the decider in who bears children not some government quango. There are many normal couples desperate for children. I also believe children should be brought up in a normal family of a father and mother.

top 3
1 head of Pakistani intelligence arrives in Washington on this day, after wiring 100k to Mohamed Atta (remember him?) An asset of British intelligence, Omar Saeed Sheikh, facilitates the transaction.

2 Sir David Manning, Tony Blair's top foreign policy advisor, meets with Deputy Sec. of State, Rich Armitage, in Washington - the latter a recipient of Pakistan's highest civilian honour.

3 Tom Kenney arrives in NYC late in the evening of 9/10/11.

Every news channel in India are owned by either political parties or by industrialists with vested interests. At the viewers end, what one gets is the telecast with twisted facts, mudslinging & neglecting the main issues.

Many channels consider themselves as national channels,just by covering the northern India and forgetting other regions. When the floods were across Andhra Pradesh a few months ago, the news channels were focusing about a politcian's son, who was arrested on charges of possessing narcotics.

Is the criminal more important to news channels than the innocent people who were left in high lurch during those floods?

if the citizens were really a priority to the U. S. government that city would have been rebuilt by now. there are people still living and dying in shelters with not enough food and water and medical supplies. it is a pathetic sad look at reality in the U. S. and President Bush, "you suck. wake up and help your people" ........... from Lennerd ( * O * )!!!!
