Description:

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! This is the second round of this international swap.

Have you ever wondered what was on the front page of a newspaper in another town or even another country? If so, this quick and easy INTERNATIONAL swap is for you. Just tear the front pages from three copies of your local newspaper and mail one page to each of your partners.

It should be interesting to see what the news and photos are from another city, town, village, province or country ... even if you can't read the language.

What do I send? The front page of your local newspaper.

If you'd like, feel free to send the jump pages --where the stories are continued from Page 1 -- or an entire section. This is not, however, a requirement for the swap.

How many partners? 3

Am I eligible to participate? Newbies welcome with a completed profile. No 'no sends' allowed. If you're rated, must be a 4.5 or higher.

Thanks for looking at this swap!

The first one was great fun I'm game again.

What if you live in the same country? And.... what if there are only two local papers where you live? Send the NY Times?

-Jesse

Annette 06/ 4/2007 #

Hi Jesse--I think she means one local paper--three copies because you are sending to three people.

Artistic 06/ 4/2007 #

Hi Jesse: Annette is correct. Same paper, three days. One day to each person. (If you don't get a newspaper delivered to your residence you can buy three of the same day's edition.)

Each person gets one copy of the front page.

Hi Mona, Janelle and Sue!

I sent yours out today : ). They said it would be anywhere between 1-3 weeks to get to you, Mona. I'm hoping for 1!

Also, Artistic--I think this is a terrific swap and I love that it's international--I'm hoping you might make it a regular one?
