Hey all,

The New Vegas Brief is a brand new newspaper looking for writers and editors to help us get off the ground. We already have some content rolling out in the next day or so, but our longterm goal is to offer regular content updates. We have our own staff, but we want to offer the community the chance to be a part of our effort as well.

We will cover political and economic news as well as regular interviews with tribes and standout individuals. You can also expect human interest pieces covering interesting projects and landmarks created by the community.

In addition we are putting together the New Vegas Radio station for Xsyon and have programming planned out to include music hours, news updates, interviews and some variety shows as things get going. We are also looking for contributors here as well.

Head on over to http://news.newvegasrepublic.com for the New Vegas Brief and a link up top for the Radio station. Regular content updates coming soon!

Very well written, and has a nice newspaper reporter flair you see in old movies. Seriously I had like a black and white movie in the back of my head and the voice of reporter you'd expect to hear in the 1950's....could also be the booze lol. Either way loved it and can't wait to see what else happens.

Good job with the newspaper.

Just one critique, when you write an article, don't actually write that you are doing "unbiased reporting." The first thought comes to mind is, does that mean that the reporter usually does biased reporting when he/she doesn't write this?

Anyways, looking forward to continue reading your articles.

Hey! Thanks for the critique sionide! The unbiased bit was more just to emphasize that the article and all following Basin Politics articles will be as unbiased as possible. I'll have it moved to the introduction section to better serve that purpose. Thanks again!

Glad you guys enjoyed the article and stay tuned for part 2! Also, don't forget the New Vegas Brief is indeed an independent entity and is looking for new writers, editors. reporters and anyone who wants to contribute! And don't forget we even have room for advertisement runs for your tribe's services or your individual services!

Thank you for the venue, I'm very interested and looking forward to reading all the articles. Once I catch up I'll give you guys a little feedback from the perspective of a new player. I have only been on the forums for a few days.

Hopefully the first feature (newspaper) of Xsyon just opened for me :)

Thanks again!

Added after 18 minutes:

Very nice read! You have a great start with actual content. I'm sure you have a million plans, but a few more screenshots and artwork etc. would be nice. As a new player I felt very informed (with the articles that are there). I'm sure as the world develops so will the newspaper.

It might be a good idea to request random screenshots of Xsyon now (from the player base)... so as it develops you can document the change and actually show progression in some of your stories.

New article up on the New Vegas Training School. We'll be sure to follow up with more information and screenshots. Launching a new Screenshot of the Week feature soon. The radio station is also coming along. More interviews are also in the works and the ending part of Kroat's special report is coming up very shortly!

I really enjoyed reading this while listening to the radio station, not much else to do since the server is down for the moment :) Maybe New Eden will get a profile on there some time, the deathwatch interview was pulled off nicely.

Oh, and that new sig you have there archangei, looks kinda familiar...can't quite figure out why.
Nah, In all seriousness I am flattered :)

Great idea, I enjoyed reading. My vote is for a gossip column!! Feuds, rumors and romances and the such but done in a light/fun way.
