Speak Banned!

The signs indicate that Speak will end, not with a bang, but a whimper.
I'm guessing that it will peter out after three issues, when Ibram realizes that he doesn't have enough time to write the entire thing and no-one else is up to writing for it.
The school newspaper I was involved in trying to start made it as far as one edition, with a second in the pipeline when it died of terminal apathy. Turns out there wasn't much news in our high school that was both fit to print and not already in the official newsletter.
So if you make it to two issues you've beaten me, Ibram. Good luck. IIRC the most interest was generated by funny articles, a horoscope, and a sports report. Serious stuff that made people think was mostly ignored.
