Greetings!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Have you ever wondered what was on the front page of a newspaper in another town or even another country? If so, this quick and easy INTERNATIONAL swap is for you. Just tear the front pages from two copies of your newspaper and mail one page to each of your partners.

It should be interesting to see what the news and photos are from another city, town, village, province or country ... even if you can't read the language.

What do I send? The front page of your local newspaper.

How many partners? 2

Am I eligible to participate? Newbies welcome with a completed profile. No 'no sends' allowed. If you're rated, must be a 3.5 or higher.

Thanks for looking at this swap!

I love this idea!

Thanks for joining!

user5526 03/27/2007 #

I like this idea too!!

user7139 03/28/2007 #

Most of the stories would be continued on inside pages... would be send those too?! (I'd want to read them, probably). Love this idea!

Artistic 03/28/2007 #

Monica: Sure. You can send the jump pages.

user6015 03/29/2007 #

Oh I want to do this!!! I love the chance to have a foreign paper! Whoever is my partner, I'll send the whole front section. As Monica above said, most of the stories would be continued to the inside pages. We also have a metro section, which is specifically about this area. Actually I think that would be better for me to send. The front section is always international anyway.

Greetings all! Partners have been assigned. Enjoy swapping those front pages. Feel free to send the jump pages (continuation pages) to your partner if you'd like.

I received my paper from Betty. Thank you.

Starwatcher 04/13/2007 #

I received some news from the desert from CRee. Very interesting to note the different point of view from different areas - even in ones own country. Our local issues deal with an overabundance of water and hers deals with lack of water. INteresting to read the different point of view. Thanks for the paper (and the note and the extra goodies!) and Artistitc, thanks for hosting this swap! It's been an eye opener!

deedeenet 04/18/2007 #

Dear all: pls take note that Emma Timney aka accidents just deleted her account. I just found out about this from another swap.

SummerLion 04/20/2007 #

Got the news today, AeroChik. Thanks!

I think it is very important to have a good news source. I remember when I was younger, we used to get our news from the newspaper. But now, television has become an alternative to newspapers. I am sure that this kind of news is more interesting than what we get in newspapers. I would recommend Managed IT Services Winnipeg for best IT services. There are so many different types of news that you can find on television. Some of them are interesting and some of them are not so interesting but still worth watching.
