eRepublik is an ever-changing game with its physics and mechanics being slightly tampered, changed, and as always…evolving. Journalism is no different, the in-game system has been evolving since I joined eRepublik in March 2011, some of the changes include; the new classification system, article approvement, and customization has also changed. Since I have been here the articles have slowly but surely raised to the point to where almost no spam is being permitted, every day thousands of articles are written by members, then reviewed by eRepublik staff, and finally published for use of the entire world to see, vote, learn from, and use for their own gain.

Articles in eRepublik are used for a many number of things; some for personal glory, some to teach others about the in-game mechanics, some for political views and asking for votes as well as providing a presentation on what they hope to bring to the table, and some even give us orders to tell us who to fight and when. The old ways back in March up to mid April, the article system was so jumbled, half of the time you saw spam, foreign articles, and even straight vulgarity to the game, its players, and their enemies. The articles of old were always laden with favoritism voting just to get either meaningless or non-important spam put up on the chart, stuff like battle orders were always hard to find up until the new system, now everything is broken up and easier to find, orders can be issued, people can spam even if they feel the need to. The changes made to our article submission make it easier for the gaming community to get the right info when it arises, popular in-game people doubted and ridiculed the new systems, until changes came once again and now everyone praises it as well as uses it to their advantage. With the new systems in place people can accurately get the info they need. This is just basically the jest of what has changed with the news articles and such since I have become a part of this game.
