This is: Issue 8 of edition 5 of CVN Weekly (#114)
It was another amazing week. This week we have our newly revised Colony links page, fun links to stories that will encourage you (we hope) to visit some of the other newsletters and CVN Weekly allied sites, humorous and serious poetry in the writing zone. We have the fun pages courtesy of Elfy's Newspaper. You have to read Elfy's interview with Mina. It IS priceless. And the current price is just 18 cookies!!! Hi-Tek Weekly continues to grow and expand with stories and updates. We hear they are going Daily! And pssst click the Hi-Tek Colony page and read about an expansion change there! Writers are needed there and everywhere too! I spent a lovely day reading and chattng with Cybertown people on MSN chat. I even upgraded to Messenger 5. My laziness explains why this issue is running late! I also had fun editing a fiction story coming from pcfreakske2000 who is trying to get published everywhere! He is our first CVN free lance writer. (well, lol, the first to use that title anyway. And no, don't go to the Citizen's list, it is not an official Cybertown Title.
Congrats to Hotty88, She is the lone new poster at the V-Paper.(Feburary posts!) It took me a while to visit there! Her 3 stories there qualify her for a CVN title! Stats say they have 40 members. Only one posting news? Sad!
Editorially, it seems there are few burning issues, but Space10045 came through with an editorial for our CVN readers.
Our annual CVN spring cleaning of titles is coming too. We will have several redesigns 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 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 did not make it last week on Monday, and hopefully it will in another week or two and be followed up with 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!)
