  8. How did we do it? Mrs Field advertised for people to work on the Strathstar Community Newspaper and we had to apply by letter for the jobs. We contacted local businesses to find out if they wanted to advertise in The newspaper. We offered a design service at no extra cost. We negotiated the content and size of the advertisements with the Businesses. The Reporters collected stories and news from our community, took photographs and interviewed lots of people. We made up the pages of the newspaper by cutting and pasting. The accountants sent out invoices to all the businesses who had advertised and we opened a business account at the Bank of Scotland in Ballater. Once we were happy with the layout of each page we started printing. The newspapers were collated and stapled then we sold them in our local Spar shop.
