No long, flowery sentences with lots of adjectives. Things like lengthy descriptions of demonstrations or meetings are not very interesting to readers. Try to engage readers with the subject matter by highlighting interesting issues and happenings and talking to people who have something to say. Descriptions of demonstrations or meetings may work but don't make them too long or the reader may lose interest. A good way to do this is by linking the local event to a larger issue or event.
Photos are great too.
They can either be included as attachments in email, or sent as hard copy to Rachel. Let us know if someone else took photographs or if you know of any video or audio reports done about the event.
