Please let me know what direction you are going with this. Here are a few facts about this project. We are a group of reality journalists stepping into new territory by establishing ourselves via a publicly accessible forum. Whereas most news organizations work behind the scenes, our day-to-day activity is publicly accessible on the World Wide Web. You will see drafts, works in progress, and conversation amongst the staff. We have a journalist from Washington, three UWM students, a young lady who came from the Shepherd Express, and just some guys who work at Target.
Some of us are liberals and hate the Bush administration. But that is not a prerequisite. Some of us are artists, mothers, photographers, or poets. The Star is evolving as we find our voice. The result will be a publication circulated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in print and worldwide on the Web. Each contributor is starting projects and posting what they wish of their progress for open discussion.
Contributions may be in writing on any subject or can take other media art forms. Through public discourse we hope to find and speak truth. At this time you must be asked by a current member of the Star to become a member of our forum. Interested parties may submit a request to Please include your name, city, and how you wish to participate. Jim
