Article proposals for your class
Hi, I was hoping you could help me. Is there a forum in which I could submit an idea to your journalism class? There's an article I'd like to see written but I don't want to overwork our already shorthanded reviewer population. The simplest answer seems to be to ask one of you to do it as your assignment. To respond, write in your reply and Wikinews will tell me to come back. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Article Proposal
Hi Darkfrog24,

I've spoken with my tutor and we are interested in your idea if you still wanted to submit it. It's fine to just send it on here if you like.

 * That was five days ago, so it's certainly past our freshness requirements, but I was hoping to get someone to write an article about the low box office of Ghost in the Shell. Because most of the writeups mentioned  having an effect on viewership, it would be a good way to practice neutrality.  You might be able to find some new development--the movie opened in Japan on Friday--but you'd still be pushing the envelope. (NOTE: It's not that the sources have to be no more than two or three days old.  It's that the event to which they refer must be no more than two or three days old, with an exception made for the publication of scientific findings.)  Maybe if you got something out today it might pass review, but with the backlog you're better off picking something that happened no later than yesterday.
 * On Wikipedia, you can take your time, even wait months when you know a good source book is scheduled to be published, but on Wikinews you have to jump. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:54, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Though this may seem practically impossible, we can regularly update a page dedicated for UoW students to pick something current (if they don't know what to write) and write a synthesis. Alternatively, we can suggest them on their talk pages. For example, are you interested in the bombings in Cairo Church? Would you consider writing about it? acagastya 12:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * A page like that would be a good idea, Acagastya. And if you like science, Eurekalert.org has the latest press releases before they hit mainstream news! Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:44, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Btw, I think the wikilink was looking for is .  --Pi zero (talk) 12:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
