23 March 2011 Trip to SPH Print Centre

What did you see, smell, hear, touch and say?
What did you think of the print centre?

Share it with us :)

I thought it was cool to see tomorrow's newspapers today, and we had some thought provoking questions thrown at us:

Will newspapers always exist?
How reliable are the newspapers we read?

Your thoughts?

Visit to ST Media Club 25 March 2011

Hello peeps!

Did you enjoy the excursion to meet editors, journalists, reporters and Holly Grabarek?

Are you planning to enter the writing competition to share your experience with others?

Remember - two ways to be heard in writing:

1) Write in to IN - you can send in anything, including a short story!
2) STOMP it (Straits Times Online Mobile Print) - Upload it on the STOMP website, STOMP iphone app or email stomp@stomp.com.sg

Start writing :)
