Field notes
A paper starts with a name and email addresses, then Grapevine sends each participant a question before the selected issue date. Replies arrive from their usual inbox; a clipping previews the result, and the organizer can change headlines or photos before distribution. The sample issue ranges from music and Thanksgiving stories to wanted notices and classifieds, with illustrated examples of RSVP and poll-style interactions.
