A brief description of what brought you here. (Was it a recommendation? A wanted ad? Simple whimsy? Something else?):I have always liked the news, Growing up as a child, I loved listening to the news, I got the idea from hanging around with SANews Senior Editor, Ian Pamplemousse my favorite reporter, also a good friend. SANews is just something I have always been interested in.

A brief description of why you feel you'd be an asset to our team (feel free to include relevant skills and/or achievements):I think that I could be an asset to the SANews because I like letting the public know about what is going on. I think that I could help the other news reporters in on what they might not know already, And spread the news to all the citizens of Los Santos!

It all looks good, in my opinion.

However, if you could write another article in the newsroom format, please. Feel free to extend your current story line.
Otherwise, work a bit on your synonyms [local farmer's farm, or something like that].

Make sure to include paragraphs, a headline and maybe an eye catcher.


Good Luck!

Arite, No problem.

Article:Los Santos main source of Dairy products come to a halt.

You all know him! If not you have defiantly heard of him. Cowboy Smith, don't sound familiar? Look on the back of your milk carton. You'll see Smith's Dairy, Thats right, He's the owner of the farm that produces mostly all of Los Santos dairy products.

Earlier this morning we recieved news that all of his cattle that produces Los Santos favorite dairy products have gone missing! And it's not the first time, after the last cow napping, the farmer installed a security system threw out his whole farm. After viewing the footage recorded of the incedent, the only way we can describe the cow nappers, are as something that would be seen on a Sci-Fi movie.

As the search for the cows goes on, Cowboy Smith is accepting donations for new cows so he can keep Los Santos full of the dairy products his farm has been producing for over 25 years now.

Good job. Much better application than I had expected. I refrain from voting yes or no to negate any allegations of nepotism.
