I'm sorry, we have enough room on the pages without fillers.

Should we include advertising in the issue? It would be like this: their project will be advertised in the newspaper, at a cost of one love, one favorite, and one follow.

@TheScratchWeekly Could you update the topic so that it includes @Swagz and I on the list of Scratchers? Also, what else should I right for the newspaper?
Sure, sorry about that.

APPLICATION FORM:
1. What job are you applying for? Game reviewer or journalist
2. How skilled are you at that job? (1-10) I will let you be the judge of that!!
3. How often are you online? (1-10) 5-9
4. Give us the example of your work. (Provide a link.) This is a book I was writing, but it didn't turn out good. But it can be an example for writing I guess!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/16005072/ Its not extremely good, but its the only kind of writing I have ever done on scratch. I can do better than this though!
I'm sorry, there are enough journalists. However, you can try for an assistant journalist, who only works if one of the journalists is absent. Also, please give us a nonfiction article, not a fiction one.

I was wondering why we weren't on it, it would be good to let people know that there are already journalists.

I would like to be a journalist, but you told LegendaryCowMaster you have too many already so…
1) I would like to be a project reviewer (or I could be an Android App reviewer, but if you recommend an app, it must be free. Unless it isn't recommended and I have it.)
2) I'm not sure, but I would love a new experience!
3) Around 8-10.
4) Well, I'll just do a review of an app I have:
Knights and Dragons
Rating: ****
This fantastic fantasy game is available not only for Android, but also IOS. Basically, you are a king with up to six knights each with a different element (the first knight can use any element): earth, water, air, fire, and spirit. There are different armors, all with a different element. There are different levels you can battle monsters in, quests, and you can build your kingdom! I enjoyed this RPG (Role-Play Game) for many different reasons. One, I enjoy RPGs. Two, the game play is very simple, yet fun. Three, you can customize your knights with names, genders, skin colors, eyes, and more! I decided to get a bit creative for my knights' names:
1) Squishy Koala
2) Meow Mix
3) Sir Flapdoodle
4) Friskies XXXXVII (47th)
5) Morgan Freeman
6) Hakuna Matata
You can also join guilds when you're level 11. In guilds you can communicate with other guild members, buy guardians, and more. You can also participate in guild wars where you fight the other guilds.
It is a great game and you will love it!

I am a junior author (a pretty popular author in my school.)
I would like to apply for the journalist location, please.
I am also a very good interviewer.

You have great skills, and I think you should be on our team. Thankfully, we still have a position for Assistant Journalist available. Assistant Journalists only work when one of the journalists is unable to work. You're a candidate! However, you'll only be able to review Scratch projects, because not everyone has an Android or iOS device.

Looks great! Journalist positions are now unavailable, because there has been such a demand. But you could be a reporter. All reporters do is find information. They don't have to make any articles. They do have to conduct interviews, though. Please do this task so we know how well you are at gathering information.

Go to 5 profiles of Scratchers with over 1000 followers. Write 3 bullet points about each of them, explaining what they are known for, what they like to do outside of Scratch, and how they feel about being this famous. You can ask questions, or find the information yourself.

This is just a test to see if you are ready for the task. If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask.
