📰-> Newspaper assistance

Hello Newsies of Tumblr! If you already know about the Newsies Halloween 2024 event. @blinkinbrothershark is the offical writer for the newspaper articles, and I ( @scottyzoomz ) is the official designer for the newspapers. It's just the two of us for now. I know it's almost May and end of the year tests are coming up and it sucks. We need some assistance on the designs, writing, etc. It's just the two of us for now, but any sort of assistance may come in handy, the more people the better. If you want to assist us full time or part time, feel free to reblog this saying that you want to assist us or do the following; post, Tag, or DMing us. Use the tag: #newsies halloween 2024 !! Reblogs are appreciated:)

WAIT you my friend are onto something I really like this idea but yknow, we gotta ask the writer of the event @blinkinbrothershark, but they're already writing about the Newsboy strike, and possibly writing about the history of it. Though, even if we try to find the original newspapers online we can only find some writings about the strike, not the paper itself, hell. It would be nearly IMPOSSIBLE i'd say because its back in the 1890s, the only thing we can do to just find this is dig a LOT. But, i really like your idea.

WAIT

WHAT IF WE CAN RECREATE THE NEWSIES STOP THE WORLD PAPER/FIND IT ONLINE

THE HISTORY OF THE NEWSBOYS

it has a good tone to it, plus from your last post, werent you focusing on the history and what it was about? It would match what you are currently writing, plus you can write about it's legacy ( the musicals, and the movie )

Newsies Halloween 2024

Hey Gang! Just coming on again to ask if anybody has any ideas for a headline or the name of the newspaper.

I will probably make a poll compiling a few of the answers, so feel free to rb with them or dm them to me! :3

@scottyzoomz / @scottzerrss, will also have first dibs on which go on the poll :] /nf

If you love the plot of the musical “Newsies” but wish it was less serious, didn’t have a happy ending, was set in a fictional dystopia instead of New York in 1899, had more murder in it, and was about a drought, then boy do I have the musical for you.

And on the flip side, if you love the plot of the musical “Urinetown” but wish it was less comedic, didn’t have a sad ending, was set in New York in 1899 instead of a fictional dystopia, had less murder in it, and was about newspapers, then boy do I also have the musical for you.

Consider this a Call To Angst for the newsies- any hurt/comfort or angst you have for any of them, please, I need it, I want those thinks Obliterated (only if you want to ofc!)

Race, who has known Jack the longest. Who is Jack’s second-in-command. His friend. Who still lives in Manhattan despite selling daily in Brooklyn because of his loyalty to Jack’s house. Who trusts Jack’s leadership. Who follows Jack’s call to strike. Who is injured because of it. 

Davey, who is inspired by Jack’s words to strike. Who helps him do so. Who forms the union with him. Who accompanies Jack into Pulitzer’s office to inform him of it. Accompanies him to Brooklyn. Who searches for and finds him. Who believes in the cause. Believes in Jack.

Betrayed.

In December of 1899, the halls of 9 Duane Street Lodging House echoed with the voices of newsies. This was the 30th annual holiday feast held for the newsboys and their guests. Kid Blink, among others, gave toasts and speeches, including one entitled "The Strike, When We Licked", no doubt celebrating their successful strike from the summer. The newsies were served a generous feast of turkey, boiled ham, celery, mashed potatoes, turnips, tea, bread and butter, and -- the newsies favorite -- pies.

This year, to celebrate the 155th anniversary of the first annual Duane Street holiday feast, I have put together a list of prompts for the first annual Duane Street December. Happy Holidays!

Jack Kelly is the type of guy to put every song into one long playlist because he's psychotic
