The Ur Weekly

I have been thinking after seeing a post about having a newspaper in the ideas thread...... so, I decided to establish a newspaper!

However, a newspaper is clearly not a one person job......so I'm looking for volunteers! I will probably be able to spring for paper and Quills as well as bags to put bundles of papers in.......

Positions open: Reporters, Researchers, Photographers, Public Relations (Bumps the forum threads and distributes in game papers.... maybe? I need to think of a better term......), Columnists, and Proofreaders.

Apply here!

(Also, there would be a way to get your creative work published in the paper shoon, but I need more staff first......)

  • Hi - I have experience IRL researching, writing, editing and reviewing.  If you need still need a proofreader or researcher, I would love to do it.

  • I'd love to help, if you'll have me. Used to be a writer, columnist, illustrator, managing editor, and editor-in-chief of a newsmagazine at my university for 2 years.

  • Someone's who good with HTML would be very welcome. I used to blog and have loads of skins saved but it seems that none of them fit.

  • Count me in please - may be able to write an article or two, the odd picture, definitely competant proof-reader. Happy to help in any way really. One way or another I have been involved with newspapers, magazines and newsletters most of my life - so, you say what you need and I'll help if I can :)

  • Hi KKC and all!  Thanks for thinking of me and inviting me!  I do have transcriptionist background, so proofing is/was an important part of my recent history.  I would be happy to help in that way, or in writing an article here or there for some subject of interest.  Just let me know how I can help.  I have not been reading the forums lately due to a Glitch-avoidance strategy that I had been trying to ease the game-dependence and secondary withdrawal, but I will check your thread here daily from now on.  Also, I will check my FB page for messages from you, KK - so... there's my offer.  Wish I had some humorous or witty things to say like some of the above people (goodstory and malo, specifically), but alas, none come to mind at 4:25 AM....

  • I'd love to be a part of this - I've written for school newspapers before and edited our yearbook, and I've also written online news articles for roleplay sites. I can write, edit, proofread, screenshot, go and get coffee and donuts for staff meetings, you get the idea. ^_^

  • Would love to be a part of this project, whether it be contributor/distributor/whatevor. I especially like the idea of bringing as much as the content as possible in-game via notes, and I've got a whole mess of paper that I'd be happy to contribute!

  • Looking forward to the news, from the devs' perspective this week...I'm sure there will be some interesting insights to app 'updates'...how did they find the bug?, when were they planning to launch/how long was the delay for launch?, how long did they think it would take to fix?

  • I would be most honored to receive an invitation to join The Ur Weekly.  It has been suggested elsewhere that I help with a fashion section.  Perhaps a fashion advice column?

  • I might have a source of reasonable advertising revenue. I just remembered it. I'll look it back up and see if it's appropriate.

  • Applying! I'd love to write. What do I need to do?
    Posted 15 months ago by That Kid Tyler Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Applying.  I write a blog, I can proofread.  Maybe something like this would work?

  • Ennuienta: Could you try contacting Kitcat Cat ingame? As I am not sure she will read this thread before it falls off the first page, and she might miss your application then.

  • I would love to be part of this - I could do interviews, I'm good at that! Would you like character interviews or player interviews, or both?
    Posted 15 months ago by Creatrix Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Miriamele, I did send her a message in-game, but never heard back from her.  I might go ahead and do the paper.li myself?

  • I would love to help writing some articles. I could help with the design too, if needed.

  • You may notice that there hasn't been activity on the Ur Weekly in more than two months. An attempt at a new paper, the ImaginatUr, is currently underway. More info in top post here: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/9194/
