announcement #12 - People's Press

Well, well, well… fancy meeting you here!

The team at People’s Press has been hard at work since you last saw us, and we’re finally ready to reveal a story we’ve been fine tuning since the California Mid-Winter Fair & Fiesta wrapped last Sunday.

Now that may seem like a long while to hold onto a hook but trust me, some things just get better with time. ‘Round these parts, we don’t scoff at slow news—we specialize in it

To us, it’s not about being the first to publish a headline, it’s about being the best. So grab a drink, take a seat, and scroll through our latest two stories by People’s Press cofounders, Justin Orsino and yours truly.

These opinions offer very different takes on recent events—one being general coverage and the other a think piece on High School Madness—but together, they artfully showcase to our community just how creative Citizen Journalism can get. And while we already have a hunch at least one headline might rub some people the wrong way, that’s okay! We also want folks to see that it’s possible to present controversial material in a conscious and respectable way. So whether you love it or hate it, that feeling (or fact) only represents a bit of harmless information. What you do with it is entirely up to you

By offering two stories about the same event (something we encourage here) we are exactly ONE STORY shy of making this double feature an official Collection! So if you or anyone you know might have a story about their time at the fair this year, please submit your most authentic 500+ word piece to avoicethatsoundslikeyours.com/submit by Sunday March 30th for a chance to be published on the Valley’s premier grassroots news network
