Citizens and governments of Rushmore,
Since the Euran government delegation to the World Assembly took over responsibility as the administrative representation of Rushmore, it has come to the attention of the media world and various governments, including our own, that the Rushmore Press Association was all but defunct. It's previous administrators, based in Virabia, have unfortunately ceased to operate and have allowed this to occur. For that reason the Euran Ministry of Media, headed by the Rt. Hon. Tom Randon MP, with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have seized ownership of the RPA through undisclosed methods.
The RPA will be reinstated in its old form, with a new board of fifteen directors, with only two allowed from any nation and one from any organisation. It will be a neutral non profit as before, but now based in the south of Bastion, Eura, likely on a temporary basis unless this meets the satisfaction of the board once its members are appointed. Any funding shortfalls will be met with Euran government reserve funds, but the organisation will remain a "newswire" of sorts for Rushmori press and the Euran government will have no editorial or broadcasting control whatsoever.
Any queries may be directed to the address at the bottom of this notice.

About RPA
The Rushmore Press Association is a coalition of Rushmori news hubs and journalists. By providing a forum for news from across the continent to be aggregated, the RPA hopes to foster an even greater flow of information and news, especially that of the non sporting variety, throughout the region, on any topic, from current affairs to cinema. To participate, all a journalist or media organisation needs to do is submit their stories to the RPA website ((OOC: Right here)) and the news will be sure to get to everyone across the continent. Aside from the news aggregation service, the Press Association is also establishing it self as a voice for both a free press and greater access by citizens to the press in parts of the continent and the world where such things are not guaranteed. It is recommended that to maintain the quality reputation of the RPA, all submitted stories must be adequately formatted, cite the name of their publication and the author of the piece.
The organisation, a non profit headquartered in the Euran capital city of Bastion, is controlled by a a board of directors whose main job is to oversee the long-term growth of the organisation, both it's news-aggregation and the advocacy side to the organisation. The board consists of fifteen journalists from around the continent and no more than two can be from a single nation, and each news organisation can't have more than a single person on the board.
While anyone can submit a story to the RPA Aggregate, it does maintain a list of it's top, most frequent, and most trusted contributors. When an organisation is on this list, it's stories will make the front page and be featured much more often than other contributions. To make the list, all one has to do is make quality contributions to the service.
