Expansion Expected


As you paw through our September issue’s pages, you’ll notice that once again we’re bursting at the seams. We’re looking to expand to 20 pages in the next few months, and with that comes the need for good copy to fill those pages. Keen eyes will recognize that we’re open to suggestions; please send good ideas to mike@westcoastersd.com, with the subject line EDITORIAL SUGGESTION.


WC 10K


I’m proud to report that we’re now printing 10,000 issues monthly, and distribut- ing to nearly 150 locations in San Diego County. The only way we’re able to do this is because of our awesome readers and advertisers, so thank you. If you’d like West Coaster distributed to a particular location, just ask how.


Intern wanted! We’re currently looking for one more intern for the fall, 2011 semester. As long as your major is relevant to our paper (journalism, marketing, communications), then there’s probably a way we can put you to work for course credit. SDSU/ UCSD students get preferential treatment because we’re all CSU/UC grads at West Coaster. You must be at least 21 years old. Send an email to the aforemen- tioned address for consideration.


Sincerely,
