NationStates Jolt Archive

I've been thinking quite a bit and what Nation States needs desperately is a quality (web) magazine. So I'm starting one. It will be called NationWire (tentative). I have a preliminary web layout. We publish once a week. Articles will be long and in-depth. Our focus will be less news and more commentary on news, newsmakers, and Nation States in general. Bias occaisonally is encouraged, but not systemic bias. Here is the catch. I absolutely need high class writing talent who can publish on a deadline (again, once a week). I need at least three of these kinds of people. People who have a real insight into what happens in Nation States. People who will cooperate in the editing process.

I therefore ask that those who are interested (and I know there will be some) submit an outline of what they would write as their first article. I will be judging your writing style from this, and I repeat, quality in every way is a necessity.

Sincerely,
MrNonchalant
Editor NationWire

Hey, im shit at writing but think its a damn good idea matey!

Hmm... deadlines. Is this some kind of paid position? I am a freelance news-feature writer...

I could definitely do this. Tell me what you'd like me to write about and I'll do it.....

In fact, I know someone who is a very good writer, I'll ask her if she's interested. Reserve a space for her as well, I'll check if she's interested.

I would, but i'm over my head in deadlines. :headbang:

I'd be very interested... I used to be a journalist.

yeah, i would. but, sorry to say, i have a big problem with deadlines, especially in the school year. so, maybe, during the summer you could have a spot open. i would gladly then. If i put my mind to it for a few moments i could write oodles about almost anything... thats in depth too if you really want that.

King Dexter: Glad you think so.
Sidestreamer: 'Fraid not. I have not nearly that much cash.
Sanctaphrax: Done. But you'll have to come up with a good deal of the concepts on your own. I plan for us not to be a publication where people are assigned news, but for a more editorial, free-thinking shop. Tell you what, I'll TM you and maybe we can work on some ideas.
Grangkon: I hear you, maybe someday.
Sarzonia: Excellent. Expect my TM shortly.
The Holy Saints: Sure, whenever your comfortable.

Others are still welcome, just remember that this endeavor demands quality.

It's been tried before, but I'd help, especially with NS Sport articles.
