Webresource: Scoop '08 Daily Student Nat'l Newspaper

Scoop `08
http://scoop08. com/

When it launches this November with the mission of inspiring a new era
of politics and reporting, the Scoop08 will be the first-ever daily
national student newspaper. Part of a network of hundreds of young
people across the nation - and counting - Scoop08 correspondents and
commentators are dedicated to providing in-depth and innovative
coverage of the 2008 presidential election. And there is still room
for you.

The race, after all, is unprecedented. The interest it has generated
on high school and college campuses across America is extraordinary.
Young people are excited to move forward, and they are willing -
perhaps for the first time in a while - to care.

As volunteers, editors and reporters are not interested in turning a
profit through their work. Therefore, the Scoop08 incorporated this
summer as a not-for-profit entity called Scoop Media, Inc. with the
pro bono legal assistance of Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Its website will
be designed by Winterhouse, a prominent New York design firm. And its
advisory board of prominent and cutting-edge reporters, politicians,
consultants and thinkers will help maintain the highest journalistic
standards.

In an April column lauding the Scoop08 experiment, William F. Buckley
Jr. said that what "especially attracts attention" is the "arrant
boldness of the venture." He added: "At least Henry Luce and Briton
Hadden waited until they were 23 to launch their revolution. And the
idea is engrossing. A Rhetoric Correspondent to check every speech by
Hillary Clinton or Mitt Romney, a Democracy Correspondent outside the
door of Barack Obama, a Policy Correspondent listening in to the
late-night contributions of Rudy Giuliani. All under the guidance of
Scoop editors at high schools and colleges across the nation."
