Coming Events at CVN Weekly
by jdb_educator, Managing Editor Cybertown Virtual News IS CVN
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend (and laughing... FIRST Shopping Day for Christmas)to everyone, whether this is your holiday or not. Please do share your Holidays with us! Send to the Daily news or to me. This week. I have vacation! So there will be several updates this weekend with Saturday being yet another issue! Issue 102. Be sure to read the update sections so you will know. We will add a link to this issue for those who just HAVE to read whatever we come up with! Some of our other sections may add stories too. The big news, of course is that Cybertown is becoming a pay site. Hawks info continues to be available here AND in the Daily News. Be sure to check the daily for cool interviews and activities. I'll add more here tomorrow(Friday) Look for an editorial tomorrow on that! There are several intelligent conversations taking place in and out of Cybertown. Sadly Tomorrow we will have more stories on viruses and hoaxes.Our advice is to learn anti-virus software, use it, update regularly and be careful. The same must be said of anti-hacking, privacy software, like ZoneAlarm too.
We have poems, and slightly fixed Thanksgiving fun page for you along with a delightful addition of a functioning Multi-Cultural calendar, and, of course, this column that you are reading right now.
My time is and likely will continue to be cut back to online Saturdays & Sundays and usually only half a day at that, on each day. (Such is RL) So it is up to interested cytonians to provide the additional reporting needed. Read the staff page to see available sections, openings and possibilities. LOL Creativity allows a 1000 additional possible creations. Likewise, if you have a news site for Cybertown send us the url, we will add it to our weekly. It is likely to be placed on the colony page, but could end up as a feature!
So there you go, read on and enjoy :) Be sure to come back next week or even more often this week!
***** Here at CVN we have lots of new activities and pages developing. All the CVN Deputies agreed everyone in management should have their own page or section! As we continue this dynamic experiment in Internet journalism, We hope you look forward to more and varied content, lots of activities and neat contests from around the city.
Our focus is simple: fun, entertainment, good and reasonable content, and the improvement of writing. Our goal is to report the news in Cybertown that does not duplicate the Daily News or would be more appropriate for this magazine format.
CVN Weekly will claim no responsibility for what other people have on their site. So caution in exploring those URLs is recommended and even urged. We received notice of some CT "offensive language" but do not see ourselves in this publication or the monthly as required to eliminate such websites from our use. People can always find something offensive if they choose to look far enough, or click on other pages than we send them to read. Our focus is on the article we present, whether in the weekly or monthly. Obviously we try to avoid an over abundance of the too often used "bad words" simply believing their use shows a lack of creativity and poor selection of word choices available. However our thanks do go to those correspondents who alert us of possible errors in judgement, or other errors they may catch for us, ranging from html to dead links. Several of our Cybertown friends have pointed out dangers and concerns in the past. We treat each notification as serious and think, before we respond. Since we are truly independent of Cybertown, we recognize that Cybertown is not responsible for our actions, and do URGE common sense and caution in clicking on ANY url of our publication here. We are certain that you would have to explore thoroughly to find bad language at all in the Daily. The Daily News is the official site news for CVN. The rest of our publications are citizen written and supervised, providing practice for those interested in developing journalist or cyber publication skills.
Job openings and possibilities are, as always, wide open. Anyone who wants to play, learn, grow, and work is welcome. A request for a job, or application and two contributions to our news organization that we publish in the Daily News or the Weekly News are required for Cybertown titles and virtual pay. (The only kind we can afford!)
