Project Synopsis The Blockland Bulletin (TBB) is built on the collective knowledge that the Blok Magazine project (2008) and Blockland On Air (2010) taught me. It is designed to offer a quality journalistic perspective on Blockland current events. This concerns forum happenings from videos, to clans, to drama, to general information regarding add-ons, RTB, or Blockland in general. It also covers in-game events such as server stories, like New Years parties and other events. This blog was built on the 7th of December 2010 and has been in trial up to January 1st 2011. The response to articles is growing, and the interest in reading the blog has been increasing steadily. I believe this may offer a better insight into the world we know as Blockland, and even surprise you with how in-depth some aspects of the game are. This website is associated with AfterBlock and will be viewable from within the program. This will not compromise viewing via browsers, of course. Contribution At this stage I have no intention to add more authors. Q&A Do we really need a news source? Isn't the forum good enough? While the forum is a good resource, it doesn't necessarily cover the information you need, and is less convenient when you are trying to inform yourself about recent happenings. The community is no doubt good for sharing and receiving information, but doesn't always cover an in-depth brown townysis of events. How do I know what I am reading is factual and unbiased? Like all good journalists, we do considerable research into our topic, and often contact the people involved to get better backgrounds on stories. We present the information we find. For those concerned, all interviews conducted are archived and quotes are written out word for word. TBB does not tolerate bias, and will not write a story if it poses an extreme conflict of interest. News articles are kept separate from review and opinion. I have a concern about the content published, what can I do? TBB will receive and investigate all complaints, taking every message very seriously. Please contact Sheath on the forums. What happened to Blockland On Air? The Blockland On Air concept is going to be utilized by TBB, offering voice interviews when appropriate. TBB also publishes videos (filmed in-game) on IcyGamma's YouTube account. The link A proper domain will be purchased within the month, I apologize from the crumby Blogger sub-domain but I've wasted my money on other things. c: http://blbulletin.blogspot.com/ |

As interesting as this sounds, you of course won't be able to document every single thing that happens throughout Blockland and its forums. How do you sort out/decide what's important enough to post in this "Bulletin"? And when you say that something poses an "extreme conflict of interest", what do you mean by that? Basically my concern is, is this blog giving news about Blockland, or is it a way to get a mass amount of people to see a stupid thing someone did and make fun of them? |
