Hey there!  Read anything good in the newspapers lately?
Honestly, I haven't read a paper in years, and when I did it was usually the comics section!
Can't fault you for that.  I'm a big fan of the New York Times/ The Times.  You familiar with it?
Oh absolutely. I want to be a writer when I grow up and I've looked into submitting works through all sorts of publications. 
They'd certainly be an impressive place to get submitted.  They've won 122 Pullitzers which is more than any other paper.
Wow I had no idea it was that many. That's certainly quite impressive. How long has the Times been around?
It was founded in 1851 so over 165 years.
Jeepers. And they're print and online, right? I usually get most of my articles from online sources
Yeah.  They've got the largest combined print and digital circulation of any of the US daily papers.  
I really should read more. Have you read anything recently that really wowed you?
