Right, I'v seen loads of papers "started", but none going anywhere. This will.

I'm recruiting for five journalists and 2 editors.
Journalists to scour the threads finding interesting stories, or just plain important ones. They find as many as they can, then the editors decide which should be in the paper-and I do the paper. [I am an editor].

Right, so I'm setting the paper up now, and you should apply for positions here. Please though, only nations over 300million pop need apply, sorry but we need to know there is going to be consistancy.

Thanks,
Pabli.

Hey, everyone: It's all very well and good to have two NationStates news services, but you all know you only need ONE (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=95024).

At the NSN, we don't care about the reliability of our writers -- just their skill. You can write stories for us even if you're only 5 million people. As long as you send it to us and let us use it, its FINE, since we beleive in the dreams of the freelancer. Also, the NSN has exclusive rights to the NS World Cup, which means no matter what happens, we will always be on top. Join the NSN today! Or at least check out our offer.

And if you don't want to pick sides -- you can write stories for us both.

Hmmm...Columnist and war corespondant(If i dotn become a lawyer, I wanna be a war corespondant for Fox News.)

I'd like to be a moderate columnist myself... I am already accepted...

I am hosting a forum, would you want it? Nationstates Paper head, please TG me with the details about where you want what forums. If you proceed, I will TG you with more info.

Actually, I could lend you some webspace for an actual newspaper website? So long as I can design it and you keep it alive lol.

Actually I'm working on the first issue now, just on geocities, but it allows me to freely move things. If any of you knwo anywhere else where I can move things freely, (not like freewebs) please let me know.
PS, must also have cut &past EXTERNAL facility!

What kind of software are you using for the design? Cause if you need someone with desktop publishing or software for a online webzine... ;)

oooo what a good idea-I am using Geocities, but i dont want to, i want to use a desktop publisher-whats the best one?

The best one is QuarkXPress, but it's very expensive, or Microsoft Publisher. For a webzine, however, a safe bet is something like FrontPage, which will let you set up a webzine site fairly quickly and you can add links, etc. You'll want to be able to link from one story to the next.

If you want to do something to set up as a PDF, that would look like a newspaper page, then you can pick up a PDF emulator, like www.pdf995.com and use your word processor to set up a basic newspaper design. Word works pretty well, this is where you can use something like publisher . If you go to

desktoppub.about.com

There are a lot of clues to help you get started there.

I work for you, at the right price.

Why would you need to pay me?

Thy paper I work for own the sole rights for reporting World Cup and Champions League matches.

100 million Pablicostan Dollars a month should do it.

100 million. You MUST be joking, or mad-take your pick.
We could report it, go to court and pay less in compensation.
Anyway, show me these rights.

We would *love* to be a jurno for this fine paper.

Perhaps travel or foreign overseas events [not wars, novelty kind of things, like 'the weeping lima bean of Silvercities] or some such.

How about it? Every good rag as a travel section.

I would like to file a complaint against this "paper",

You call it the: "The Nationstates Paper. THE Anti-GDODAD Paper Of Today"

I, as a former GDODAD nation, strongly and strenously object to this, by the by, it was not Steel who talked about the reformation.

We would also like to enquire about a classified add for our store front.

Dont see why you object, I was a GDODAD nations too...

And for an add it's £250 a week, with a picture.

I will be your politics journalist okay

This paper is 100% false!

But, Years ago now, The beleived founder of the GDODAD, The Steel Butterfly tried to breath new life into the lungs of the falling GDODAD. The newly named The Dominion attempted to regain the popularity lost during "The Underwater Bubble Scandal", and to win back the hearts and minds of those followers who had strayed.

However, This ideal of The Steel Butterfly's Dominion was short lived and soon collapsed into the nothing which it had come from. The main reason for the dilution of The Dominion is unknown, but many beleive that the popping of The Underwater Bubble by a group of rebelious nations, fighting for freedom. Following this were many short battles, eventually forcing The Dominion out, into the depths of nowhere.

Now, many years after the seperation of The Dominion, The Steel Butterfly has announced the reform of the old union, recalling chiling memories for many involved nations.

But there was another twist in the reform story, The old GDODAD's primary enemy, leader of the revolution Automagfreek has become a lead member in the new alliance. Alongside the armies of The Steel Butterfly, this is surely going to begin to fire the first shots of war.


The real information follows:

The Silver Turtle is the founder of GDODAD. TST, not SB! I joined when GDODAD was still the superpower it once was. I quickly moved up the ranks, and then when Klamath left, I became part of the leadership structure.

After "The Underwater Bubble Scandle", I started reforms, and coined the term "The Dominion." However, nations who had no rank whatsoever took over the reforms so I got up and left.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69984

It became apparent that I was indeed the main player in the GDODAD/Dominion for once I left it just fell apart. No battles were fought, no freedom fighters, simply I betrayed the GDODAD bastards...and they collapsed.

Now many years later, The Silver Turtle (Not me you moron), announced that he was restarting the GDODAD along with one of the most famous anti-GDODAD members, Automagfreek.

Quite frankly, I'm appalled and at the same time laughing my ass off. You have proved that right off the bat your paper sucks. Please, spare us all and never write again.

OOC: No offense Pabby...

IT IS TRUE! THE WAR TO END ALL WARS WILL BEGIN! BUT IT IS NOT GDODAD'S SOLE FAULT! YOU ALL NEED TO STOP THIS MADDNESS NOW! BEFORE THE GALACTIC WAR BEGINS! WHOLE PLANETS WILL BE OBLITERATED!

You're going to start a war over a newspaper?

You're going to start a war over a newspaper?

did I say that? NOOOOO. I was talking about one of the lines in the Newspaper.
"War to end all Wars"

IT IS TRUE! THE WAR TO END ALL WARS WILL BEGIN! BUT IT IS NOT GDODAD'S SOLE FAULT! YOU ALL NEED TO STOP THIS MADDNESS NOW! BEFORE THE GALACTIC WAR BEGINS! WHOLE PLANETS WILL BE OBLITERATED!

Please, stop talking. Before you get your head nuked off. By Anti-GDODAD and GDODAD alike.

Well no one knew you were just the messenger. You came in "yelling" and saying whole plantes will be destroyed. It tends to worry people.

If you need anything for any position at all telegram me please.

Actually I'm working on the first issue now, just on geocities, but it allows me to freely move things. If any of you knwo anywhere else where I can move things freely, (not like freewebs) please let me know.
PS, must also have cut &past EXTERNAL facility!

I'm not too sure what you mean here...? "Freely move things"? What things?

cut and paste external facility?

What I'm offering is a subdomain of my webspace, no ads naturally, fast server, enough space and bandwidth for the webzine. All for free :)

If you need anything for any position at all telegram me please.

Why work for such a low-quality paper? Read my post...the information...is entirely wrong...

i know that MY planet's won't be destroyed in this socalled "War to end all wars" beacuse i shall not be involved.

the WY and LV system are safe that way.


(Newspaper biz}


and i think the New's paper Idea is a good 1 :wink:

I have news from the region of Germany.
The rightfull delegate and kaiser was kicked out and the evil and tyrannical leader, Reichsprotektor has taken over and started a vicious regime.
He has told many sources that he shall kill 10 civilians loyal to the Kaiser for every one of his troops killed.

The kaiser, Wilhelm II, has moved to his own region for refuge.
He and many many other nations and regions are plotting a mass attack with millions of troops.

The fascist and tyrannical idiot of Reichsprotektor shall fall!

This is genocide!
It must be stopped.

No sweat, and if you need an executive editor/media law type, I've worked at an RL newspaper for quite a while ;)

Freely move things. Like a propper editor, not like freewebs where you can only do things in paragraphs. Like I could put what I want where I want.

Cut and Paste. Not like geocities, 'cause their you can't copy from an external site, like from here. Which means a lot more work for me.

Explain the deal with your idea. Would you be editing it?

Ok...

You'd be the editor, the person controlling the webspace.

You'd have FTP access. It means you have to create your webpage (or I can help you create it) and upload it and it will appear at the URL I'll give you.

There's no templates I'm afraid, just what you make yourself.

And you'd have complete freedom in editing and copying and pasting or whatever you want to do :)

OK, I'l give it a go. What do I do?

READ PABLICOSTA!

Calm down Steel, this thread isn't the proper newspaper. The reports will go in here and then the editors chose them and edit them and then they'll be published. :)

Now...

Pablicosta, do you have MSN? if you do can you telegram your email address to me to discuss this further?
