Suggestion: YCM Monthly Newspaper


Frunk

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking over this idea for a while now, and GXDuelist's suggestion has enticed me to post it. I've seen on other established forums (about as big as ours), where a special team of members is set up to create a monthly newspaper.

 

This newspaper (most likely avaliable for download in ".pdf" form) would contain;

- Information on any imorptant updates to the card maker.

- Include interviews with certain members.

- Have reviews on sets, deck, graphics, (anything really), and talk to their creators.

- Have a featured fan-fic.

- A classifieds page (Where members can advertise their sets, shops, and other threads they want attention drawn to).

- Talk about the YCM Awards.

- *Add suggestions in replies to this thread*

- As well as anything else that pops up in the certain month.

 

There would be many positions open, which would include Editor (most likely taken by myself), Artists (These guys fill the newspaper with any pictures they think suits the article, as well as find art from certain set reviews, etc.) as well as numerous Reportors, who would cover one or more certain parts listed above.

 

Obviously, with such a large amount of information to cover, format, etc., this could not be done, or even organised by one person. Thus making another, very important position open for the most active of active members. They would need to help me out and make sure everything will be ready for the issue. I've got some members inparticular in mind for the Organizer position - They probably know who they are, so if I get some genuine interest in this, PMs will be sent out to them.

 

You don't need to have outstanding spelling or grammer skills to be involved with this, as I'll be editing any mistakes for you, so please, if you'd like to help, add a reply - The more members signed up, the easier and more enjoyable this will be.

Cheers and thanks for reading, Frunk.

I think a co-editorial postition may make things disogranised. Either way, let's not jump the gun! We'll see if we get some support first, as this thing will not be easy.

 

In the mean time, any suggestions for anything else for reporters to report on?

so any idea how long it will take us to organize?

 

Well not exactly, this idea is still an infant. Right now, I'm going to look into the best way for us to get the Newspaper out to as many people on the forum as possible. I'm thinking an (easily) downloadable ".pdf" file, I will link to it in a thread specially made for the discussion of the newspaper. I will also personally provide a subscribtion service, in which I send a PM containing a link to the newspaper and a list of it's contents, the members will then pay me a small sum of points. The points are then donated back to the all the people who worked on the paper, along with a rep.

This is great, thanks everyone so far! Tkill, I was actually hoping that you might be interested in an Organiser role, of course, you can take an interviewer/artist position too if desired - What you do is your choice though.

 

Anyway, while I'm sorting some preliminary stuff out, has anybody thought of a catchy title for the newspaper? Feel free to add suggestions (Winner will receive +1 rep).
