Briefing for Reporters - The Future Times
From the Editor,
Good articles do not need to be long. Just enough to give your readers a different insight into that scenario. If there are any supporting URLs for your article, you can add them as a comment to the story. Alternatively, write an advertisment, a sports report, book review, tv schedule or whatever inspires you.
Like all editors, I retain the right to use your story or not and to make changes if required.
Please read the following notes and have fun. Any questions, please don't hesitate to email me: phoebebright@spamcop.net
