NEWSPAPER CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT.

ELDRITCH ACAMEDY NEWSPAPER CLUB
As of today the site officially is launching a newspaper club! Included within these first editions will be a front page show casing stuff from open player threads, 2-3 articles of special open mini-events or player posted open threads when possible, an advice column, a monthly game like crossword or word find, and classified ads related to IC needs. Sound interesting? Good, because we need the help of members to bring it to life! Below you will find all relative IC/OOC information on the newspaper club.
Lastly remember the paper is a largely IC related endeavor so it will affect your character IC, practically for reporters and photographers who need to post at least once in the threads they're reporting on or otherwise come across the information IC.  Also there will be occasional IC club meetings, but don't worry about those as they are for fun. 

IC/OOC Jobs Within The Newspaper. 
Every job within the newspaper has two functions, an IC function and an OOC function which work alongside each other. 

[1/1] Editor In Chief - IC this an NPC character managed by Kitty who serves as president of the newspaper club and is credited IC with playing task giver/mediator of the club. OOC the job is a little different as the reasonability of aiding the other members in their tasks when needed is also part of the role. So anyone can come to Kitty with questions/concerns/to ask for help regarding the newspaper itself or their job within it

[0/1] Designer- OOC this role is responsible for determining the layout of the newspaper, alongside being the one to create/manage/keep the template for the newspaper updated, the weekly game and month's weather also fall into the Designer's section but are aided by the editor in chief. IC the character of the player is credited with the same things.

[0/2] Reporters - OOC there are several parts to this role and especially as the paper grows larger a reporter may only be responsible for one certain part, though reporters are allowed to switch between roles from month to month so long as all are fulfilled. The first part is writing articles based on the Mini-Events published within the two weeks before check in, while the second is responsible for the front page snippets that don't come from the 2-3 full articles, these snippets are small paragraphs reporting on player made threads. IC the player's character is credited with the part of the paper they wrote that month.

 [0/1] Columnist - OOC the player is responsible for posting a thread on the first of each month asking for players to post questions their character's sent to the Advice Columnist IC and than writing their characters response to 4-8 questions max. IC the credit to the player's character is the same expect for the OOC thread part. 

[0/2] Photographer's - Each responsible for working with one reporter OOC to figure out what sort of edited images will be needed for the newspaper that month. Once they figure out what's necessary the photographers are also responsible for somehow obtaining it, through editing images they find on the internet. IC the character's are credited with taking all photos that appear in the newspaper.

This is the general time table of when things take place for getting the newspaper published. This isn't to say that reports couldn't finish their articles during the event's section if the required event is complete or such, the table is merely the absolute latest time things can take place so no one is overwhelmed and the paper gets out on time. Things for the paper start on the first of the month typically so we can publish it by the first of the next month.
