Just a quick update on the VN newspaper article.
As you know ive been trying to get the piece published in either The Age or Herald Sun newspaper education section, and i FINALLy have some good news.
Firstly, i tried to get in contact with the editor of The Age's education section- however, nobody responded to my calls or emails, and once i did get a response, they notified me i had been sending it to the incorrect email address

So I decided to call the Herald Sun, and after getting through on the first phone attempt, she sounded pretty interested in the piece, emailing me twice that week to ensure she'll comment on my piece at a later date.
Last Wed i recieved three phone calls from her (all of which i missed, stupid phone!) But did return her calls, which revealed her genuine interest in the piece.

The only fault she could find within the article was that the beggining of the article, sounded too much like a news report, and wanted to switch a few things around (as that what she's paid to do- edit) and she informed me that she'll get back to me this week, due to the urgency in reporting on the bushfires.
So stay tuned and i will definitley be keeping you up to date

Fingers crossed it works out.
Sorry again to those who wanted it in The Age. I tried
