Do you enjoy the monthly editions of the Daily Prophet, Which Broomstick and Witch Weekly?

Do you regularly stalk other people's threads and see the potential for newsworthy articles that might get missed during the news reporting?

Are you interested in putting your stalking skills to work and helping out the administrative team?

We're looking for 3 - 5 reliable writers who can help contribute to putting together the monthly editions of the Daily Prophet, Which Broomstick and Witch Weekly. 

These members must understand that this is a commitment and failure to meet the expectations will result in loss of privileges.

Expectations:
Stalk the site in search of news.

Write short news articles about these events, ensuring they are recent and not already reported on.

You are required to submit a minimum of 1 article every month, due on the 25th of each month.

Ensure that you are including a variety of members when submitting articles so that everyone gets a chance to feel included  - it feels good to see your character(s) and plot(s) hit the news.

You will have access to the private News Board where members of the News Team can post their articles and discuss what they are reporting on so that there is no overlap.

Each writer will have their own thread for posting articles monthly. 

There will also be a group thread for hot topics of the month found around site through our general stalking or plotting and threads.

As always, we will revise as things progress to make this process streamlined and easy for all involved - get rid of what doesn't work and make improvements to make things quick and efficient.

Daily Prophet - this section is typically written by Rita Skeeter and covers regular news such as sitewide events, sitewide plots, storylines that make sense to make daily news like crimes, special features, wedding announcements, advertisements, etc. Anything you might find in a regular newspaper.

Which Broomstick - this section covers all of our Quidditch news both internationally and at Hogwarts. It features special quidditch events, gossips about the Quidditch stars and what's new in the Quidditch world like brooms, equipment, new spells, up and coming potential players, all the stuff you might find in a sports magazine. Currently, we make up a lot of our quidditch news but with some specific writers we could narrow it down to being more specific to what is actually going on, on site with Quidditch.

Witch Weekly - while currently, it focuses on the interviews with our members of the month, it's also our gossip column and reporting on the lifestyles of the rich and famous on site.

If interested, please DM Lou @ dean. All interested parties should DM me by Friday, October 11, 2024. Please include your area of preference for writing news articles in your DM.

Thank you for your assistance in making INH better!
