If you're in a city with a competing newspapers try to work as fast as possible to get these tasks done, merge everything, .ZIP up your issue and Slack it out to the streets!
Well, get to it!
Get in a team. We need someone to report on each of these topics:
- Local News
- Sports
- Culture
We also need someone to take on a very important role:

Talk among yourselves to figure out what area each of you wants to cover. And make it snappy! News never stops!
Your responsible to review pull requests and make sure the paper stays in order. You should be the one that forks this repo once, and everyone else should fork from your repo to make pull requests easier.
Don't approve any pull requests that don't merge! If something doesn't merge easily then send it back to the reporter who contributed the content and tell them to make sure they merge it with the latest copy of the paper.
