NEWSPAPER MEETING

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

Note outside the cafeteria door:

For those who didn't see the edit, the newspaper crew meeting is now in the Journalism classroom.


William sits on one of the desks in the classroom, waiting a little anxiously for others to arrive. He holds onto his notebook tightly.

"A sensible pronouncement at last." Spider took another long swallow of whatever he had in the bottle. It was a suspicious purple color.

"Well, if they don't show up then I don't see why they ought to have a say." William frowns.

Otto wanders into the room in time to hear this.

"Vhat is a sensible pronouncement?" he asks curiously.

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

"Taxation without representation," Spider told him. "It does tend to cause wars, however."

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

"Does it?" William asks. "We don't generally have that much excuse, on the Disc. Generally we fight because someone killed someone a hundred years ago and no one bothered to step back and say 'Hang on, why are we letting a bunch of dead men dictate our prejudices?' Or because somebody sneezed wrong. That works too."

"Ah," Spider sighed cheerfully, blowing another mouthful of smoke upward. "Human nature...."

[otto-chriek.livejournal.com]

Otto blinks. "I imagine it does," he says a little blankly, and turns to sit down next to Rory.

William looks around a the little group. "I hope more than this show up," he says. "But they're going to have to play catchup, if they do. Let's get started."

"Sounds like a plan, fearless leader"

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

William gives her a Look, but only says, "Right, then. Otto and Veronica, you're both photographers, and I know you said you could do articles too, Veronica, and Rory, you have your column and other articles. First off, how often do we want to put this thing out? Weekly?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Weekly would probably be easiest to handle since we have all of our classes."

[OOC: do we want to try to figure out a way that the "newspaper" can be a daily links list as was suggested in the OOC comm?"]

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

"Right." William writes this down on his notepad. "We'll need a headline article every week, and that obviously goes to whoever has the most interesting story, so long as there's facts to back it up."

[OOC: for the sake of my sanity, no. I was thinking it could be a weekly summary of the rpg's events.]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica chews on her pen cap.

"You know, this place is kind of weird. Facts to back things up may be hard to come by sometimes. Like that whole green furry monster thing that supposedly was going on today?"


[OOC: agreed - we should see if we can start a comm for the 'paper']

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

"In that case, photographic evidence." William nods at her and Otto. "Need that anyway for an interesting article. I'll see what we can do about having the pictures in colour."

[OOC: sure, and link the new edition every week in the main comm]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica nods.

"I seldom leave home without my camera."


[OOC: good plan - I'm sure TrollPrincess will agree]

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

William glances at Otto. "That seems to be the way good iconographers work."

[otto-chriek.livejournal.com]

Otto nods. "Go ahead. Vhat is our first, er, item of business?"
