Description:

This is my 2nd time coordinating a swap so if I leave anything out or if you have any questions, feel free to message me or comment below.

Wouldn't it be neat to see a newspaper from a different part of the country/world? I think it would be!

This swap will be ending on April 5th, and the final mailing date will be April 11th. So purchase a paper from the town you currently live in, dated any day from the 5th to the 11th and mail it to 1 partner. I am only doing 1 partner to keep down shipping costs, since this is an international swap and some of you will already be paying extra shipping for that.

The paper don't have to be crisp, it can be one you've already looked at, as long as it is neatly put back in its original order before shipping. No rips or stains please! It can be shipped in anything you can fit it into. A newspaper is a newspaper no matter how small it's folded. Although, I'm sure everyone would prefer it be sent with as little creases in it as possible. The main thing is to make sure it is in perfect order just like it was when you first received it.

Please include a note with the package with your name and the name of the swap and anything else you would like to say.

This is a simple swap. If you receive a newspaper in decent condition according to the above mentioned rules then please rate your partner a 5. Don't rate a 1 or a 3 for some petty reason like the edges are worn b/c the paper has already been looked at, etc. Only rate a 1 if you haven't received anything for 2 weeks and only rate a 3 if the paper you receive is in really poor condition.

You must have atleast a 4.5 rating to join so I will be viewing participants and I reserve the right to ban you from the swap if you have a rating lower than this.

It is ok to send a newspaper that is in a language other than English. I also have made a swap that is English only :)

If this goes well I may host more!

Happy Swapping!

Can it be a free local paper? There's a paper/magazine here that comes out weekly here and it's WAY more enjoyable than a "normal" paper.

It needs to be a real daily newspaper b/c the point is to share what your hometown paper looks like, what it's called, see the local headlines, etc. But you can include the free one as well if you like. I have something similar to that here that I plan to include with my newspaper ;)

It is perfectly fine for the newspaper to be in a language other than English ;) I personally would love to see a paper in another language even though I can only read English. But since not everyone may feel this way, I am going to make a swap that is just like this one, accept English only ;) Thank you!

My local paper comes every Monday which is the 4th it won't come again until the 11th the last day to send, but Post Office will be closed by the time my mail gets delivered. Would love to join. If I get a daily paper it won't be from the town I live in, it would be for N. Ky /greater Cincinnati area. Would love to join.
