My favorite story on the news paper, Is about the band Sinsored, and yeah I know its not because I am in the band, but because it is a story that effects me and fellow friends around me, showing something we care about and succeeding in it that's why, not because self promotion or stuff like that but because its a story that shows kids doing something for themselves.
