The Printed Media

[Harwen]

I agree, the least that there should be is the notice board, the more I want to argue for a newspaper the stupider it seems. The message boards here are enough to give us info on any recent events, so the only thing left is that message board. Which should have it\'s own rules. Check the wish list for a \"brainstorming\" post...

well, i think it should be a notice board... basically the newspaper gets posted on this board and there could be a system for commentation (with a mod, maybe?)

that said, i think it would be possible that their be \"written\" (not really written, of course) copies in a bin of some sort attached to the notice board or soemthing where people could grab personal copies.... i mean, this cant be impossible, there is a library, no?

well thats my input, and auran...i can probobly help out if youd like.

Lol, if anyone does need help creating an in-game newspaper, I will be glad to help. I have taken 2 years of programming classes and am currently mastering XHTML. I\'d be glad to assist.

Oh! Damn! Now that I have given up on this issue there a lot of people who\'d like to help:(. This is annoying but what the heck i\'ll bite. Okay so all of the guys who wanna work :

1. We\'ll need an editor-in-chief(I suggest we request Moogie to become that, anyone else wont be able to convince the populace that we are a netral and fair body since I am attached to this).

2. Editors: I\'ll become one and we\'ll need another guy preferably with a flair for english and a prominent community member.

3. Pagesetter and publisher: This will be the guy who takes charge of the website. Sets up the HTML pages for display. Someone with time and aesthetic sense.(Would jess_person like this job?)

4.Reporters: Obviously. Writing skills an advantage but not mandatory. Just file your reports with the editors and we\'ll make stories out of them.

At first we\'ll start it as a free weekly but with growing circulation we\'ll charge a negligible fee (one ruby?). It\'ll always be free for the members with forum rank \"newbie and cool newbie \" who are active (>0.25 posts a day). As and when we change from free, all employees will get paid. So just post you applications on this thread and we\'ll get started as soon as we have a skeleton staff in place and a couple of stories.

thank you

Yeah, that\'s cool and all (although Moogie hasn\'t said anything like she is interested in this, or that she supports it at all like she does almost everything and I\'m sure she has seen it...) but certainly not ALL of the newspaper must be neutral?

Sure, general reporting has to, like when your dealing with facts and stuff...but I think like an opinion part of it would be great, where people send in their opinions (anon or not) about what is currently going on.  Nothing too bad would go on there of course, but that is what I would like to work with.  But I\'m not sure what the average person will think about it since I, am not.
