Dead media !!

I have been watching eIrelands media for quite a while and i have noticed there are about 20 active quality writers here on average a week .

Now i do not include myself on this list as i was never much of a writer however i have noticed these shout sized articles coming about lately and i feel we need to try and encourage people away from this .

One solution which jumps out at me is we include more article category in our community awards
like best new author all sorts really
maybe the MoCs could weigh in on this ?

IS there anything we can do to encourage not only more but better articles which in a small community like this are i have found important for in-game communication as many semi actives and 2 click users do not use IRC

PPs i feel should (and this is one of my attempts 😛 )to encourage there members to put out the odd article as even if it doesn't cause a major shift in party membership it can do with those random votes for congress for example

In any case the main purpose of this is to draw those who have also noticed this into one spot to try get the ball rolling on some sort of solution

all the best

I agree, and I'm trying, but I'll hide behind the "I'm only two weeks old" argument for a little while longer. There are plenty of people in this country who call themselves leaders, I'm very willing to let them prove to me whether they are or not before I take my own turn.

not trying to have a go at people as i said im far from the best here but i think it could do us some good to encourage it if you get me

First of all an apology

I am not fulfilling the MoC role as I should this term and fully accept any criticism that may be thrown at me for this. The pressures of RL are just enormous for me now..

Saying that I think you are right (even the MoC article fest has dried up lol).

I will look at this tonight and see if I can generate something...(btw I got no votes in for the last comic article so this is a problem articles alone won't solve...but its a start)

Couldn't agree more binksy. One or two people have asked me how to get more involved in politics and I've told them, among other things, to release articles and get more involved in comments and conversations. There are some quality writers in the eWorld (and a lot more who aren't!) and I don't consider myself one of those, but you just might find a gem somewhere. A lot of people find it difficult to actually think of things to write about and it's sometimes hard to take that first step.
