Newspaper of the Month(December 2014)


Yes the tittle says it... The last one of this year.

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 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.

The newspaper is:

Fresh Opinions
Owner/editor: Nanoyo
Most recent article: Official Media list (update 31/12)

This newspaper is an expression of the passion for journalisme that its owner has for this field which he still describes far better in this article than this summary can. But to give you an idea, his publications range from arts and culture to international news updates.There are also a few political opinions shared, yet it is not the main focus of this newspaper(i think).

Interview with newspaper owner/editor:

Question: Could you tell me why you started this newspaper?
Answer: I have a RL journalism experience and this is somehow a passion. Plus, i love writing (seven novels written in a little more than two years). So, it was obvious i had to make my own newspaper on eRep. This is the part where i'll find an infinite pleasure. I can get pissed by politics / economics / wars, but not by writing.

Question: How do you feel about the negative comments on your articles? Does it effect your articles you write after that?
Answer: I had some negative and troll comment, not constructive negative comments yet. The only comments that affects my writing are the constructive one. So when i see the same peeps telling "how noob" i am, and having the same "fanboys" upvoting them. It makes me feel way "smarter" than them. I don't need fanboy to approve my arguments, i have readers from everywhere who give a really high approval score.

Question: What are your future plans for your newspaper?
Answer: My plans have always been to become a worldwide newspaper. It's really huge, so i begin with "Europeans" view, my "Europeans wars" are part of this. I already contacted MoFA of european countries and will put them in my future article to give a new imput in my newspapers's aim.

Question: Anything else you wish to share here? Last words, advice or promoting something...
Answer: I passed the first 100 subscriber yesterday, 10 days after my first article. I just want to remind you that everyone can participate as an actor(journalist) of "Fresh Opinions". We give the possibility to anonym external articles, reviewing them to keep them as anonym.
