The Newspaper of the Year is...

- La_Flute_Enchantee

The content of this newspaper articles has not changed much. It still talks about the feel and thought of military political fun and poetry all dressed in the personal and kind touch of Elynea. These links will take you to here previous achievements in these series of media highlights: [SoMF]Newspaper of the Week(1° week), Newspaper of the Month(April 2014), Newspaper of the Month(January 2015)
Interview with the winner:

Question: Has your newspaper changed a lot since you where the winner of the Newspaper of the Month(April 2014)?
Answer: Nothing changed, i have one idea, i make one article. If i saw one injustice, or bad rule from admins, i take the occasion. If i see the country in troubles, i try to make one article about the unity. It depends. Sometimes i want to smile, it's more fun, sometimes when i need medidation i write poetry in french.

Question: Do you feel you get more international coverage on your articles and how does it affect your work?
Answer: I have a lot of friends in the eworld, i have sometimes answers from them. Sure i have more readers in ebelgium and efrance (my usual language). I don't make my articles to be an international reporter. I see a lot of international article who is voted a lot are about troll (fun article about one alliance) or very good analysis about alliances. I'm not in this category.

Question: What are your future plans for your newspaper?
Answer: I continue to write when i want. If you want make one article each week but no idea, no imagination this day, you must forget and wait.I don't like the new mission about 25 comments, that push anyone to make : "hello, please comment". Thanks, have a good day. You write for a goal. No interest to read this kind of articles.

Question: If you had to start your newspaper from the beginning again, would you do the same as you have been doing now... or would you do it differently(and how)?
Answer: At the begining i had no problem to write (except my bad english, i'm better no? 😛) Now it's cool, we can add music, we can make a good form to one article.
At the begining, you needed to use pictures (pixels limited). I try to respect the reader. One article clear not so long, and pictures.

Question: Anything else you wish to share here? Last words, advice or promoting something...
Answer: I don't know for others, but a newspaper says a lot about you, your personality.
What you write is what you are. The press is important in eRepublik, to help citizens, to make fun, to share a story. My newspaper is my memory.
The show must go on ! To write is like to make music. You have one instrument (the imagination), you have the ink (computer) after with your ideas (the music in your head) you create the end the song (the story).

Here is you well earned badge:
And this is your price: 10 gold + 1000 BEF + 4000 Q3 food
