[MoC] The Media in eIreland
•
by The Irish Community
Today there are only 3 articles in the Irish media, not even enough to fill up the list on my homepage, and I find this sad. Why are we not writing more? The media is the simplest way to get your message across to the world. Shouts travel as far as your friends, articles have no such boundaries.
This is an international problem, and people are fighting back. I think it's time we joined in. Sound off in the comments, what is wrong with the media in your eyes, whats turning you off it, why aren't you writing.
And if you feel like writing after this, go and do it! Especially the younger players! Thanks to a generous donation to the Community by Linus Ben I will send food to any young (born after August) player who writes an article in the next 3 days, so get to it!

Topic? "What it really means to be eIrish". ?
You're right, the media is dead, it's not as easily accessible as when it used to be "top articles" on the homepage. Also, as we have all trolled each other to death now, there's little quality stuff (with style) to read. I'd like a bit of an oldskool Don.Squire meaty article, some spacy Harrilal and a well-reasoned Cupcake Keiller, washed down with a full-strength Sean Power.

Voted. A great idea.
Media usually dies around the weekend ;_;
I shouted this and forgot to actually post on it, fair play Tibulus.
I must do an article but its the time of many beers 😃
I find the reason why I don't publish articles often is that it is too time consuming and I can't find the motivation to actually write and article.
Finding something to write about is also a bit of a problem for me sometimes.
That and that update that pretty much destroyed the media...
Read and voted. Good read. Nicely done.

Voted.
We have a similar problem in eIndia, though not as bad.
A good incentive would to be offer prizes for substantial articles from noobs - our MoMC employed this and it worked very well.
^Ministry of Media and Culture for any wondering.
That's exactly what I'm going to do Alector 🙂
Actually, I was considering writing an article just today but it's very hard to follow up on articles about being stuck in a cupboard and swallowing Toilet Duck. That type of gold doesn't just come to you instantly; it takes time and much deliberation. : P
I wish I could write in Ireland. But I need CS. I need to pick a category. And then, I need to shout like insane, because no-one will see it otherwise.
Media module is dead. Knowing that, our enthusiasm to still write something anyway is simply astonishing!

Noobs can come with gold very quickly if you groom them right. : P
Will this do Grainne? http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/what-it-means-to-be-eirish-1921285/1/20
Mare if you write an article I can publish it for you.
I try to write an article or two every week. Yeah, the Media is pretty dead, so write some controversial articles to stir the pot up.
I tried my hardest to cause a bit of running banter, honestly I did Tibulus!
Heating a dead corpse doesn't make it living... or something like that.
