3 Pitches

Pitch 1:
Minors and 21-year-olds alike are upset with the increase in policemen around College Hill on Thursday through Saturday nights.
The number of police officers at night is a huge increase from the previous years at WSU.
My article will include why there is an increase in police officers as well as interviews of students who are uneasy of the increase in officers and also someone at the police station explaining the increase.
The intended audience would be the people of Pullman, more specifically, the students that attend WSU.

Pitch 2:
The increasing cost of semester at sea is driving more and more students away from the program.
The price for semester at sea has never been so high. It has raised its price due to fuel costs to almost $4,000.
My article will include situations where a student had to drop out of the program and facts about the increase as well as interviews from people who have decided against semester at sea because of the price increase. Also I would want to talk to the semester at sea program to see how badly the increase has effected their quota.
My intended audience are students who have been planning to study abroad

Pitch 3:
The U-District proposal has people has students that live on College Hill outraged.
Allowing this proposal to pass would allow police jurisdiction over all the properties on College Hill.
My article will include exactly what would happen if the proposal is passed as well as interviews from what students think about the proposal who live on College Hill and also from someone who strongly supports this proposal.
My intended audience is anyone who lives on College Hill
