More than 30 teens published since Aug. 29

As our 11th straight weekly issue goes online, we counted up who's been published since the school year started. So far, more than 30 teens in seven countries have had a hand in The Tattoo this fall. They've hailed from Malta to Massachusetts and covered everything from Hurricane Katrina to Ramadan. The range is astonishing, the numbers incredible.
Do we need to say that we're unbelievably proud of the work these young writers, photographers and cartoonists are doing, week in and week out?
Yeah, we should. We're amazed and grateful here at Tattoo Central. We have the chance to work with, and get to know, some of the brightest, best kids in the world. We are truly privileged.
