Can't say for sure about the high school paper; I wasn't involved with 
the one at my school, but it did seem rather smaller and less active. 
OTOH, very much like the newsroom at the University Daily Kansan. You 
just forgot the large TV set hanging on the wall... tuned to CNN when the 
faculty advisor was around, and to ESPN whenever they weren't... or 
whenever the sports staff could claim it *officially*. :)

       Hmmmmm.  I don't recall a TV in the UDK offices.  (But then, when
*I* was working there, the students were still trying to burn down the
campus.  (Remember the 'April Sisters'?)

       "Gosunkugi no BAKA!!" Noriko shouted. "You wasted an entire roll
taking pictures of AKANE??"

  Gos the reporter. The mind boggles.

No, Gos the *photographer*. Photojournalists are a completely different 
species. You should know that by now. :) Of course, the ad staff is not 
just a completely different species, but a completely *alien* one. :)

       HEY!  I resent that! [tucking a slimy tentacle back under his shirt]
*You* try selling advertisers on a campus paper in the '60's.  Those of us
who survived were in therapy for years.  @_@

You'd better believe it. :) The grammar does need some extra work, but 
that can be handled. It appears to be time for the introduction of... 
dare I say it... Martial Arts Journalism? <g,d,rvvf!> 

       Obviously, you've never seen Sam Donaldson.

You could also bring in Nabiki to handle the Ad staff. That could make 
things rather interesting indeed... :)

       Ack!  NONONONONO!  She'd wind up owning the place inside a 
semester.

       However, I agree.  It's a really well done first chapter.  
More!  More!  More!
