for the journalism inclined? | un: royals_fan | text

[apricitous]

Hello all.

I've been settling in, the same as I'm sure many of you have, but while I've taken a position to pay the bills, I've noticed a distinct lack of my previous vocation:

I was a reporter, and while I won't say I was the best one in the business where I come from, I would say that I truly believe in the power and importance of the free press. Now, I'm currently down in Wyver at the moment, but I do have an associate, the real head of this operation, who's been working on this problem from up in Olympia.

Neither of us have necessarily worked in the management of a publication before, so we're happy to sit back a little if someone with the experience would like to step forward, but we're also looking for people who are interested in working in journalism from any direction: bloggers, photographers, or the more investigation inclined.

You can ping me here and we can discuss it or we can meet up somewhere in the city as is easiest for you. I'm pretty mobile and more than flexible.

Thank you.

Oooh, sounds deliciously fun.

[apricitous]

That's a very interesting username.

Also do you have any experience?

It's not a 'no' if you don't, I'm just curious.

[vorrutyer]

Experience? No, not as such. I'm quite certain that I'm chock-full of native talent, though. Ooh, does gossip count as experience with journalism? It does, right?

[apricitous]

It does. I'm sure we've got room for a gossip column, if that's your area of interest.

[ Journalism's hardly her forte, and barely even an interest, but what does catch her eye is the mention of investigation. Information. There's only so much she can learn about Nysa on her own. ]

What topics are you looking to cover?

[apricitous]

Just about anything, honestly. If you've got a well-researched opinion piece or a piece of newsworthy information or just the latest trends in the Wyver marketplace. Starting is better than dithering about what we should publish.

At least in my estimation.

[catfident]

I'm not much of a writer, but if you're looking for someone to keep an eye out on what's happening I might
be able to help.

[apricitous]

I can do the writing if you're willing to do the investigation.

you had me at "photographers"
i mean ive never really done pics for journalism
or anything like that
but im definitely willing to help out!

[apricitous]

That's excellent.

I don't suppose you'd mind meeting up so I can see some of your work?

[punshots]

hey not at all!!
im actually in Wyver already so just name the place and im there!

[apricitous]

There's a diner type place not too far from where I work. I can send you the address if you'd like to meet up. Do you know where the dragon pens are?

Would this be a publication specifically for the refugee population? And what, precisely, is a blogger?

[apricitous]

For the refugee population, yes.

And a blogger is someone who primarily works on their own, on a somewhat self-published platform.

[revlon]

I see. What sort of articles do you imagine you'll publish?

[apricitous]

Well, we're restricted to what we can find out. But so far, the people who've signed up seem rather competent. We'll have to see what the news happens to be, though.

Another bard.

[He is starting to like the reaction he gets.]

[apricitous]

I suppose you could call me that, if you want to.

Who's the 'other' bard? The one who came before me, if you don't mind me asking?

[badgerlock]

Reagan. But she's asleep, now.

I'm not a reporter, but tell me what you're looking for when you say "investigation inclined".

[apricitous]

We're trying to put together something of a news publication for refugees.
Something more organized than just the network.

[sheriffing]

It's a good idea.
What topics are you planning to report on?

[romancekiller]

i don't have experience in that sort of thing but it's good to hear there will be something like that in wyver too.

[apricitous]

Were you interested in helping anyway?

[romancekiller]

oh, yeah i wouldn't mind helping if lack of experience isn't an issue.
