Promoting high quality journalism

Day 675, 08:47 • Published in • by Plato

Dear citizens,

Sometimes we like to see eRepublik as a giant living organism, glued together by many many individuals having their own unique feelings and thoughts. But of course sharing feelings with their friends and nation. And indeed, the New World grows, it's in constant activity, sometimes it gets sick, later it gets better, sometimes is sleepy, other time is full of energy. The economy module feeds citizen's pocket and quality of life, the war module feeds the heart and pride, and the media module feeds the brain and joy of life.

If not the most important, the media module is at least one of the most important aspects of the game. Some even say that if you don't “exist” in media, you don't exist at all. Media module is the fertile ground to plant ideas and thoughts, to spread beliefs and to battle or debate countless happenings and subjects of the New World. And most importantly, the media module is a precious fuel for the social interactions of citizens, beside forum and chats.

Since the creation of eRepublik there have been published 271.428 articles in 675 days. Now, that's a big number! This shows how much our citizens enjoy writing articles. We are seeing many really talented writers, which are able to move masses, to make citizens laugh, to make them feel sad, even to start or stop wars! A good journalist adds value both to his nation and to eRepublik as a whole.

This is exactly what we are intending to do: promote talented journalists, by publishing some nice articles a couple of times per month in the eRepublik Insider. Of course, an article must be really good and interesting in order to get published in EI. There are some requests that need to be checked before your article could possibly get chosen:

- your article must be written in English and must not exceed 2500 characters;

- it must be related to eRepublik world and events;

- no propaganda or personal feelings concerning a group/country/alliance expressed;

- it must be really interesting;

- you will find the proposed themes in the last paragraph of some Insiders;

- Only articles debating the proposed subject for that week are eligible.

So, would like to have your article published integrally in the biggest newspaper of eRepublik? Would you like to have your ideas spread to thousands of citizens? If “yes,” get your fingers on the keyboard and do a good job! We would be happy to share it with everybody, because we consider the high quality journalism something that definitely deserves to be promoted. Please send us your articles which you consider to fulfill the requests posted above at the e-mail address insiders@erepublik.com.And keep your eyes on the Insider, you may see your article posted there someday! Also, link to your profile and your newspaper, which may help you a lot achieving the media mogul medal for example.
