Do you want to be a newscaster?

Have you ever watched the evening news and thought, "Where's the local news?" or "I could do that"?

Well, here's your chance. The Saline Reporter and The Milan News-Leader plan to launch a new weekly video newscast in which readers will read the local news straight from the paper before it goes to press Wednesday evening. We welcome anyone, from youngsters just learning to master the language to polished politicians, longtime residents, teens, aspiring thespians and your average neighbor.

Read the headline and first few paragraphs straight from our upcoming edition before it hits the street or spice up what we've written with your own color and commentary. Share the local news while also sharing your unique personality in a short, two-minute video.

If we get enough people who are interested, we'll draw names from a hat every week and announce in the paper who will be featured each week. The video will go live Wednesday evening before the paper comes out, allowing a sneak peak for readers at the front-page stories and sports news.

E-mail editor@salinereporter.com or editor@milannews.com if you want to participate. We'll be in touch.
