Newspaper of the Week - 3° week


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:

Boklevski's News
Owner/editor: Boklevski
Most recent article: Looking at the future?

The main focus of his newspaper rests on making articles about economics(a lot less since the economy-module had fallen apart) and political matters(such as election presentation and oppinion, initiation towards coorparation on different levels). These day's he is using his newspaper for giveaways and as a platform to get our fractioned nation back together as one.


Interview with newspaper owner/editor:

Question: Could you tell me why you started this newspaper?
Answer: I started the newspaper because I was highly interested in the economy module of eRepublik. That was back in the days where fighting was just against "a wall", day numbers had 3 digits, and you paid in Belgian Francs (BEF). Back then, the economy module made for some GREAT simulation of economics and monetary market, and I couldn't wait to analyse and write about it. (Times changed... at least regarding the economics module.)

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 really get that much negative comments. Even articles aimed at politics, which tend to be highly sensitive, don't have much negative comments. Sure, some comments disagree with me (and that's actually a good thing!), but they are always written in a constructive way.
My rule: If you treat ALL your readers with respect, you'll get respect.

Question: What are your future plans for your newspaper?
Answer: As said, the economy module isn't really worth writing about. So for the moment, I'll use my newspaper to bring us all together, as a community. Give-aways, articles showing the advantages of working together on certain things and encouraging people to join the forum (which you totally should on www.erepbelgium.com). Maybe I'll give economics a shot again somewhere in the future as well.

Question: Anything else you wish to share here? Last words, advice or promoting something...
Answer: There are two things I would like to promote.
First one: start being nice to each other again in our country. eBelgium is too small to fight internally. Disagree with each other, that's fine, but don't insult anybody.
Secon😛 if you're a newer player: make sure you take advantage of the help that is being offered. eRepublik is a harsh world at first. So use the offers made available by the state (for example: Citizen Packs, see http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-ebe-mod-battle-orders-day-2045-2281614/1/20 ) or individuals (for example: SRK.PL's GoodHumor Foundation, see http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/start-foundation-quot-good-humor-quot--2277239/1/20 )
