We want to thank all of you who have taken time to look at The Lamp- Lincoln Land’s college paper this year and every year.
We love to highlight the local news as close as Lincoln Land or foreign news as far and farther than Africa to those news important stories.
We try to work on different ideas and topics so that we can keep the paper interesting enough so you keep reading and maybe share a story or two.
Feel free to always email us with an idea for a story. We could check into it and then your story would be shared either in our paper or even online. Although not everything that we have goes into the paper. Will would also love to see your photos. Send us photos of where you live, your pets or selfie’s of yourself. We’d love to see some of our readers.
Recently we have had people from different parts beside the United States. Germany, Africa, United Kingdom, Brazil and Jamaica have been checking into our site for stories and reading up on our paper. It’s always great to hear from those who don’t live around our area of Springfield, Illinois. So please send your ideas our way or email just to say hello and we’ll do our best to follow your leads.
Like every year we attend the ICCJA (Illinois Community College Journalism Association) we ended up with a total of 14 awards. And then received the” Mike Foster General Excellence Award” for the second year in a row. We are ecstatic at the progress the Lamp has made this year. And are planning great stuff for this fall.
We hope you keep in touch after graduation and summer begins. Graduates let us know how your doing. Where your going and what your plans are in the future. We’d love to do stories on past students, or sort of updates. So keep in touch. And those of you just taking a break for the summer or maybe your not taking a break. It doesn’t matter. Send us your summer pics. We’ll do our best to post them on our site to share.
And if your interested in working for the Lamp or writing, taking photos or maybe you want top write an editorial. Just contact us at the information below.
All in all we all worked our tails off to get great papers out for everyone. With in a few days we’ll have our last paper of the year out. So make sure to stop by a new stand and grab one or several up to share. We hope to hear from you soon.
