We could have people Pm us topic they would like to see in the news. We could have things like the best looking tori of the month where people pm us pictures of their tori's and we choose the best one. We could do reviews of things for instance the new minibash. We could have people send us replays of fights and dances and we could choose the best ones. It could be a non profit organisation or we could do things like people pay 100tc each to enter a competition but then the winner of the competition would get like 5k this would be to attract people to enter. We could also use the paper for people to advertise things like movie making or set making. So when the paper is popular people would pay us a certain amount of money to feature like a add of their set making or whatever. We could include the dates and times of big tourneys that are happening soon. I think it could be fun to run but would also be some work. Im not sure if the mods would allow us to even do this but its just an idea for now. The different issues could be themed, for instance a olden day theme were we would use a scroll kind picture with an olden newspaper font. We could use Spoilers for topics and then what our org is about underneath the issue. We could have links to old newspaper issues. Just tell me what you think and if any of you would be intrested in doing that with me.

Job Descriptions
Journalists
A journalists job is to be everywhere all the time, I want them to get interviews with mods, famous players. I want them to find out the dates and times of all important tourneys, I want them to find out information about everything. I want them to watch the news threads often find out interesting thing things that are going on, latest scam techniques, latest ways of shoveling how to conquer those shovelers. If there is a stir inside a clan with members betraying their own clan I want to know about it. There are a few things to note about this job though. This is a outside office kind of job, I don't want journalists posting in the thread all their reporting will be done through pm's. So no journalists will post through the newspapers thread unless it is extremely important. One more thing I know this job is hard and can be quite a bore so when the paper does make a profit, journalists will be rewarded quite well. Journalists will also do a lot of work in game to find out the latest gossip and will also have to be big replay watchers in order to find up coming stars.
Designers.
Designers will come up with picture ideas for the paper. They will come up with the papers themes and what not, All the designers ideas will be pm'd to the financiers, who will approve or disapprove their ideas and if the ideas are approved of the financiers will work out on getting a artist to make the art or picture the designers requested for a certain price, this is of course if the designers can't make it themselves. Designers will also have to come up with a logo for the paper. I want the paper to do what MTV does, advertise its self a mother load, so the designers also have to come up with adverts for our own paper to put in our own paper.
Advertising, finances and public relations.
I have kind of signed myself up for this job, these people will deal with the papers finances, like where the money will go, how we will use the money that we have. They will also be the ones who have to deal with the advertising in and out of the paper meaning, we will be asking people if they would like to advertise in our paper and will also be the ones advertising our paper. All advertising will be done through pm's we don't want to give the paper a bad name by spamming threads. These people will also be the ones checking with the mods to see if certain articles will be allowed to be published a lot of the organizing for this should take place in the irc channel. I was hoping pidda and Retasim would help me with this job. Oh and these three people get the final say on the published version of the newspaper.
Writers/editors
These are the people who take the journalists information and turn it into articles and interesting things these people's first job while waiting for information from the journalists would be to come up with a slogan for the paper. These people will also be doing a lot of socializing with the designers to get pictures for their articles or to make the themes match the writing pieces. I will urge all writers to write short but sweet and any long winded articles will be turned down to publish. The one bummer of this job will be checking the end piece for any and all grammar or spelling mistakes.
Assistants.
This is a shitty job but can be done by people who want to get involved in the paper and are willing to work for it. This is a shitty job, but a job that needs doing none the less, the point in this job is like being a sub and a all round helper. When someone can't do their job we need someone who can help and take his/hers place. They can also help people who feel they are drowning in work for instance help a journalist sieve through replays. If this person does a good enough job they are likely to be promoted.
