After a winter like this, it seems unlikely that warmer days are ahead, but they’ll come. They always do. When they get here, we’ll all feel the urge to shut off the television, put away that new Smash Bros. game (as hard as that is to think of) and take a walk outside. In looking ahead to days like those, we’ve spent some time writing about all the new things our neighborhood has to offer, as well as some of the old things that are worth revisiting. Look no further than the following pages for a few ideas of where your first spring walk can take you.
Just for fun, we’ve thrown in some satirical news, opinion and sports pieces, as well as our usual comics and puzzles to give you something to do in class besides looking longingly out the window at the sunshine and grass.
Thanks for picking up the Post and thanks for helping to make the East Side what it is.

Please put at least half as much effort into your news issues as you have into your fake/joke issues. It's starting to become difficult to tell the two types of issues apart. We get four pages of what attempts to be news, then twenty-odd pages of fluff and crap, and then four more pages of psychotic/incoherent ramblings by left and right wing nut-jobs.
You only put out a paper weekly, it shouldn't be that hard to polish a piece in 4-5 days. Take a minute to get facts straight. Take a few weeks to do a real investigation into something. There is plenty to find if you actually look.
Oh well, I suppose you are providing the right type of training given the current state of the MSM. Welcome to a life of mindless regurgitation of press releases and topical reports on sensationalist topics.

I agree with the first comment. The worst part is that we pay for this with our tuition! The newspaper is a joke and is reminiscent of the "yellow journalism" of old. At one point in time, school newspapers were actually rather prestigious, but what do we get? A newspaper worse than the Shephard Express, which is pretty much the lowest common denominator in journalism.
