[SoMF]Newspaper of the Week - 2° week June
Ministry of eBe Education
Yes the tittle says it...
Here i will highlight one of the newspapers that are to be commended for there work or at least for the effort they try to do.
I will highlight 1 newspaper once per week and give a short summary describing that paper and why this one was chosen.
And if possible(if the newspaper-owner agrees to it) i'll give a very...very short interview with its creator.
This weeks Highligth is:
Life with MaryamQ
Owner/editor: MaryamQ
Most recent article: eWanderer in Search of a Song
"Life with MaryamQ" is a newspaper who tries to focus mainly on the philosophical matters in-game with sometimes some political news and a touch from her Real Life.
Interview with newspaper owner/editor:
Question: Could you tell me why you started this newspaper?
Answer: I started the newspaper when I was a new player back in V1. I had an idea I might write about restoring and maintaining health, a real issue at the time, but I found others were already doing it, and better than I could. I didn't really start writing until after I came to eBe and became involved in politics.
Question: How do you feel about the negative comments on your articles? Does it effect your articles you write after that?
Answer: I don't get a lot of comments that I feel are negative, but when I do, it depends on the source. Some I try to learn from, and some I ignore. I don't recall, however, that they have ever influenced something I wrote.
Question: What are your future plans for your newspaper?
Answer: I am discussing with a friend from another eCountry the possibility of a joint project, and I anticipate writing more about that in the near future.
Question: Anything else you wish to share here? Last words, advice or promoting something...
Answer: I would like to encourage new writers to find their own voice. Don't try to write like anyone else. Find what moves you, and write about it, and keep writing. There is always room to grow if you keep trying.

The best newspaper of the year....of all times.
I thought of that, but i think to make such selection it might be better to hold a competition of it against the end of the year(like the media-version of the BoDi-awards).
On a personal note:
This newspaper would definitely be on the top of my favo's.
Thanks, tommot. I'm really honored by your kind words.
🙂 Hugs to my favorite fan.
nice reporter : voted o/
I forgot to add the badge...
...it's added now. 😂
How do you select newspapers?
Sometimes due to it's activity, sometimes due to it's content(the whole newspaper, not specific articles), sometimes a combination of the 2.
What i will not do is deny a possible candidate based on the political aspects of the persons newspaper.
I would like to know if I could get everyweek the award in Switzerland... I'm the only one to publish more than one article per week XD
I love this. What a great idea.
Voted & subbed.
it's a nice newspaper that won 🙂
congratz!
