If you decide to do the article, [and frankly I have no idea if it's worth the stress to do so] remember that you owe the newspaper NOTHING. Therefore, I think it would be good that you demand the right to preview the article before it runs, etc, and make sure you can get a word in about how being a miracle preemie has shadowed you your whole life. Like, or maybe they'd be nice enough to reprint part of this journal entry or something. Just a thought. Maybe I'm too idealistic. I'd like to think not all reporters are scum.
