middle-boy shockey's first byline

You should be proud. You should also be scared shitless.

 

They aren't going to outsource his copy editing duties to the foreign exchange student are they?

 

Was his first story about buyouts and layoffs coming at the East High Tribune?

 

Jesus, Shockey, just buy the kid a bong and a Glock while you're at it.
Seriously, no praise is too much for the first by-line. Heap it on until he hollers.

 

You should bring him with you to the Coughlin pressers. That will send him running screaming to another profession.

 

Thank you, Mr. Wet Blanket Guy.
The fundamentals of this business are sound, I'm telling you.
BLOGS!

 

I think it's great that a high school student is doing any kind of writing, since all most of them seem to know is how to text.
If nothing else, the clips will be great to include with his college application.

 

Included with that college application will hopefully be a declared major in something other than journalism...
