The Sitting Duck seeks submissions from community journalists at Port

Wed, 11/14/2007 - 4:12pm — ErinSittingDuck

In our effort to provide in-depth coverage of the recent Port Of Olympia protests, The Sitting Duck is seeking short submissions from the community (500 words max, please). The Sitting Duck staff is already working on our accounts, but of course we weren't there for it all.

Selected submissions will capture first hand accounts of actions, specific details (names, location, etc.) and capture the spirit of the time. We're thinking real community journalism.

We are also interested in photos and will compensate for writing/pics that we use.

Email erinsittingduck@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Writers Guidelines:

Email your submission to erinsittingduck@gmail.com AND terrysittingduck@peoplepc.com

Please keep your submission to a maximum of 500 words.

Upload a .doc with 12pt Times font.

Photos must be .jpg and no larger than 1 megabyte.

Email speaks for itself

This email speaks for itself:

On Nov 12, 2007 12:50 AM, Sandy OlyPMR < email addres withheld to prevent censorship > wrote: Just to clarify -- These regularly scheduled events are NOT intended to replace the continuous presence down at the port entrance, still very much needed.

And, although for many of us tomorrow is a holiday from work, that is not the case for Evergreen students, who have to go to school. Evergreen students have been the primary presence at the port. Lets show them we appreciate their efforts by stepping in so they can devote some time to their school work.

I'm not sure what this has to do with

the SItting Duck's request for stories and photos.

It doesn't

It's just a long time sentiment of mine. Knee jerk reaction. Still, TSD should have a blog. Anything but their current wasted website.
