To keep updated, interesting, and important news topics on Project:Informed, it would probably be helpful to have another staff member other than me taking care of posting news articles. This person would be the News Czar, and would be the moderator of the News and Current Events board.
If you would be interested in being the News Czar, either reply to this thread or PM me. You would not have to write news articles - quoting them and linking to the source will be sufficient. Of course, if you would like to write your own article on a news topic (not an opinion topic, but a News topic, reporting fact) then you could feel free to write one of your own and post it. Here are the recommended qualifications:
-Must visit Project:Informed enough to keep new events posted and open for discussion. (That way it is actually news, not olds).
-Must have an interest in current events enough to actually look for the latest news and post it.
So essentially, the News Czar would look for as many important or interesting news stories as they can and post them to Project:Informed.

Hi Josh, As stated in THIS thread by me, I I am willing to post news articles for you, if you want to. Most rss feeds I have hooked up to a forum i own, will give a link, title, and a quick snippet from the articles, so I could be someone that could do this for you. Also, if you are wondering about whether or not I will be active, I am usually online enough to moderate anything that needs moderating.

Awesome, the help will be much appreciated! Thanks a bunch! I'll make you a moderator of the News and Current Information board. Since Project:Informed has just started and we're still small, it's up to you to decide how many articles you link to and how frequently you post them. And the setup you were talking about sounds perfect. Thanks again.

Your welcome! I probably will get a few topics up and running with a few items momentarily.

I am a good informer of sports and games.
IF possible I can be a Global Mod and help contribute to the site. I have past experience on being a mod as well and keep things around here fair and good. I am mostly online and I can keep things running smooth if no other staff members are on.

Cool, thanks for the offer Moxxi. It will be great to have a possible choice for a Global Mod once the forum expands. For now, you can establish your place on Project:Informed, and if you're active when we have a need for a Global Moderator (which may be in the near future if we continue to expand), then I will definitely keep you in mind.

No problem
Off topic: BTW I already posted my 1st news and tell me what you think.

Perfect! Perhaps what I'll eventually do is make a Sports/Games/Entertainment sub-board of News, and you could moderate that, for a start.
