Distribution of regional content is far superior to a selective company that a) affords the "main" regions/players a platform and b) contains inherent regional bias. The great thing about The NewsStand is that it gives even the smallest, arguably-irrelevant regions a voice. This indirectly leads to increased sharing of ideas and nurtures the spread of culture inter-regionally. Objectively, NSToday does this, but to a far lesser extent.

The concerning thing here is that Lazarus thought it had the inter-regional clout to clandestinely push around a newspaper without consequences and with censorship tactics worthy of despotic state like the USSR. This whole thing would not have been a big deal if Lazarus just had the balls to investigate the leaks internally but instead they chose intimidation tactics on Discord to try and keep NStoday in line. I hope every region, player, and organisation that plays NS takes note of this incident.

One is the head of Laz guard and the other is probably a raider.

Not an excuse. If you truly wanted to make CCD as non-fascist as possible you would’ve yeeted them, sinple.
Boda wrote:Only because NST banned your main boy shrew (and rather all of CCD for that matter) you’re saying that lazarus needed to be more aggressive. And that’s exactly what you commented in this thread to do, show off your own spite for NST. Go away, Jocospor.

Also, advertising in forums like that will be difficult, while GP is allowed to post your thread and promote your news, so you guys are already disadvantaged.

People who read and work for NationStates Today will be part of those communities who NationStates today "over-represents," meaning that they are the ones who have heard about the survey and will fill it out according to their biases. Chances are that a gameplayer won't notice that there isn't very much coverage of the RP world because they do not care about RP and wouldn't notice the lack of coverage, for example.
And even if I am proven wrong and the survey is beneficial, how will NST act once the survey has concluded? Will they make staff who are from a certain background write a different type of article? I don't think that a GPer would write an RP article, and vice versa. Would they cease all coverage of a region entirely if the survey says that it is covered "too much?" Would they make staff who probably aren't from the regions that NST "underrepresents" cover articles from thos regions, despite probably knowing very little about those regions?

NationStates Today is NationStates Today - it is not and was never supposed to be GamePlay Today.

Aynia Moreaux wrote:Aga, I love you, but the issue I take with this was the same issue I took with so many other criticisms. You are calling it awful, but I'd like to hear instead of instant negativity, what we can do to improve.What I see from this personally is NST attempting to reach out and connect with a broader audience. They're meant to cover NationStates. Now speaking as HR director, we have departments that cover all kinds of things, so why shouldn't we reach all kinds of readers? If we haven't been doing that, it's a fault of the organization that we're trying to correct.
Personally I don't want NST to just focus on only gameplay. I want them to focus on roleplay news. I want them to focus on political elections and silly things and fun things and whatever the heck their writers want to write about.
I want NST to represent the whole of NS. I want writers from big regions, small regions, rp regions, and gp regions, feeders, sinkers, UCRs and GCR's. And I can promise you that as I vet the people who apply, I don't keep anyone out unnecessarily. In fact I think there is only one person I have ever turned away in my time as HR director so far.
I don't know why NST has this instant dislike reputation from a lot of people, where anything they do has a knee jerk reaction of 'I don't like it, this isn't going to go well, this is a bad idea, instead you should stick to doing x'. Like honestly. If I am missing something please explain it to me, because I've been there for months now and they are wonderful people and while it's not perfect, it's a pretty well run org.
When it comes to things being under or over represented, I can't definitively answer those questions, those are for people with a different title than I. But I know that we do have a variety of staff that could be utilized more, and we are constantly on the hunt for more writers, especially for niche areas.
So a big thing is this. If you see an issue, if you spot a hole, help us fix it. If you like to write, volunteer. We'd love to have you.
