Coming Events at CVN Weekly
by jdb_educator, Managing Editor Cybertown Virtual News IS CVN
February 6/03
This is: Issue 6 of edition 5 of CVN Weekly (#112)
This one is a very simple issue :) We are going to keep the section links, add one story or perhaps even two to the ads page and let the other sections do all the work! This Editor is running off, with da wife, to Albuquerque to attend a conference on dyslexia! No 12-20 hour weekend updating and editing for me! It is the BIG city, bright lights and learning all I can about this amazing disability that can cause letters to twist around in the mind and make reading extremely difficult. The difficulties range from mild to severe, as in any ability, or barrier to success that people face in life, There are many ways to help, I hope to find a few that will help one of my students.
Ron 009, tells me that Elfy is updated and lol he interviewed me.(EEEEK) Ron and Elfy are a lot of fun. Elfy tells me he is hoping to negotiate the Cybertown cookie concession for all events.(j/k) We suspect that a large part of those cookies will be used for necessary Elfish expenses! The other sections will hopefully update this week!
Our annual CVN spring cleaning of titles is coming too. We will have several redesign of our CVN game that will permit those players who only want to get published but do not want to chase titles an easy way to keep up with CVN changes. Likewise we are planning changes that will be interesting and we hope fun for both our long term players, our I want a title players and our now and then writers. Stay tuned!
I have kept my pronmise (last week) with the VNN story. Part one introduces it. Part two discusses VNN and the V paper and how inexperienced writers can have more opportunities to write and get published... Part three will come in a few weeks, hopefully followed by an interview.
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!)
