“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

Debate Time

Which Trophy?

Would you rather have a special trophy with your name or 4 trophies?

Read about “Open House” in this issue. Would you rather have a special trophy like Diane Zhou or Amanda Chang, or would you rather have 4 trophies? Diane would have gotten 4, but her trophies got “traded” for a special one. Send your answers to: GingerbreadWklyNews@gmail.com

Special!
Special ones are...well, special! Only one person gets a special trophy. Even if you had 4 trophies, it wouldn't be special. Wouldn't one special trophy be great?
4 Trophies!
Of course you should get 4 trophies. If you display one special trophy on your shelf, other people won't know it's special. They'll just think you earned one trophy. With 4 trophies, you can easily prove that you won 4 subjects.

Update Debate
Should GWN allow people to reply to debate on the box at the website?

GWN wants to be updated on its website! Should GWN allow people to reply to debate on the shout box at its website?


Of Course!

Of course GWN should! Some people don't have email since their parents don't allow it. If you live far away or never get to see the GWN editors, how do you send your debate replies (and earn a ticket)? Everyone has the Internet and can go on the website. GWN could always empty the shoutbox every week, so it wouldn't be a mess. The email would still be in use since stories should be sent by email.
Bad Idea...
Why should you allow it? The email address would be a waste and GWN is just for fun; for now, everyone who reads GWN and doesn't have email lives near the editors, so there is no need to use the shoutbox and make a mess. Half of the time, GWN readers write their stories on paper, so the email account is just used to send announcements, that's all. No, don't use the shoutbox!
