Ou plan just to remind you all is to have the Zimbabwe story finished by now, which Lana has  done! Then for tomorrow the story by Cairen and Tammy on other things to do in G town etc…

We are still working on the X story for a much later stage, and Lana is working on the Outrhodes story too for a new angle.

Thanks

so i’ve made a new blog, basically the same as this one

that one will be our public blog

just so we dont have all our internal meetings and ideas and stuff on the actual blog

it seems easier to just have 2 different blogs than to try and seperate them

so we keep talking on here

but the other one is our actual blog with pictures and articles etc

the adress is www.1one1andall.wordpress.com

hope everyone is okay with that

will add you all as admins as well

For those of you who couldn’t make the meeting, all is sorted. We discussed our civic map and have designated sections to people, so will be done by Thursday. We have decided that Illana, Cairen, tammy and Mzo will be reporters and researchers. Whilst Kelly and I will be editors, photographers(where needed), marketers and help the rest of you know what story is due when k?

thanks guys

Cairen and I were talking about maybe doing a profile on someone so i was thinking about it this weekend and i was thinking maybe Vivianne de Klerk and her whole crack down on drinking??/

anyways see you all just now!!!

cheers

had a random idea. i know we are already doing something on violence but bear with me for a second

so this week, on thursday night, we got home and they have broken into my best friend’s place. literally, we got back at 3am and all the doors were open, his laptop was gone… etc

at first we thought one of his digsmates left open the door but eventually realised the one girl’s bag was gone and they had the keys to the house and that’s how they got in

quite a mission, calling the the cops, hitech, getting stuff sorted, replacing locks (and making LOTS of tea)

bankcards, carkeys, IDs, everything was gone

so home affairs, banks, locksmiths, the works… quite the process getting everything sorted

and the police took forever with everything… eventually got to rest like 2 days later

so i thought it might be interesting to write a feature kind of in a first person view of the break in… just kind of like the break in experience

just a very descriptive piece on it, very colourful

i dont know, was just a thought… might be nice to have that because news stories on break ins are so boring and common these days

either way, let me know what you think

Tam

I live on African Street, and there has been an extreme amount of crime happening on our road in the past two weeks.

There is a meeting tonight at the police department to discuss this and they are hoping to get the community and residents involved in providing extra secuirity.

I thought I would go to the meeting and check it out, and see if a story could arise out of this. I know secuirity is a huge problem and concerns most people in Grahamstown so I think it is good as a social topic.

Will let you guys know how it goes,

Jess

and then everyone can just reply with what they basically want

just to see how this works…
