Cheney, WA -- The Satori Harold is back for another year, only this time in a new form.

In the last ten years, the Internet and other technologies have dramatically changed the nature of journalism and even the beloved Satori Harold isn't immune to those changes.

For the first time, the Harold will be dishing out all the news that's (almost) fit to print in both hardcopy AND web-based format. Numerous other exciting changes are also in the works.

"We're really quite excited about the possibilities," says Chris Mathieson, Pulication Editor for this year's Harold. "Given our expanded readership, we might land a big advertising client." (Calls to MegaAds Corp, the world's largest advertising agency, to confirm this possibility were met with snickering laughter.)

With its substantial expansion plans, the Harold is seeking individuals to join its staff of reporters, photographers, cartoonists and featured writers to help create and publish a record of Satori 2002.

"The Harold has been an important part of the Satori experience for a long time," says Brannon Zahand, News Editor for the Harold. "It keeps the entire camp up-to-date with the latest happenings and lets campers and staff learn more about one another."

"Having the Harold in both print and on the web will give us the best of two very different worlds. Campers will be able to quickly come up to speed on things with a paper waiting for them when they come back to their rooms after PHASE time. And friends and family will be able to get a slice of Satori life as it happens."

Those who take this Satori class will experience all aspects of a modern media outlet, from story brainstorming and selection to editing and layout. No experience is necessary to join this class, just bring your pen and a "nose for news."

"Some out of class work may be required," warns Chris. "By taking this class you give us permission to send you on some truly wild and grueling adventures, all in the name of getting a good scoop."

"That said, a life of fame and glamour awaits you. Who wouldn't want that?"

Don't just get the scoop on the week at Satori; be on the staff that dishes it out.

And remember: "If Harold says it, it has to be true!"
