Opie's Newspaper

Opie and Howie start to produce their own school newspaper, the Mayberry Sun, but sales are pretty slow. Barney tells the boy that he knows exactly what's wrong: he needs to broaden the scope of his stories beyond his classroom and publish news articles that people want to read. He and his friend Howie decide they are going to publish all the gossip that's fit to print. Soon, they are eavesdropping on private conversation printing verbatim what they say and with full attribution.
