Dynasty Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Allow me to start this conversation with a brief FAQ: Question 1) Is TxBPress a real press outlet? According to dictionary.com the press is: The collecting and publishing or broadcasting of news; journalism in general. The entirety of media and agencies that collect, publish, transmit, or broadcast the news. The people involved in the media, as news reporters, photographers, publishers, and broadcasters. Commentary or coverage especially in print media Therefore, since we have journalists, and publish our media online in the form of News, Articles and reviews, YES! we are a REAL press outlet. Question 2) You don't actually publish or sell anything do you? Physically, no, we don't publish anything. You will never see a newspaper with TxBands.com on the top (at least not right now.) However, we publish it at http://content.txbands.com for all to read! Of course we don't sell anything... since when has this site ever costed anything? Question 3) Do you have reporters and writers? Yes, of course. See below if you are interested. Question 4) Where do you plan to go with TxBPress? Our only goal is to bring news to the community and build relationships with the organizations and programs of the band community, for free. Interested in TxBPress? News: Must be very internet oriented to scout for news Familiar with DCI, BOA, UIL, and other companies that publish press releases Articles: Willing to write 2 to 4 articles per month Topics will be chosen at free will, but submitted to an Admin prior to research/writing Ideas include: Criticisms, Interviews, and Other Band Related Stuff Reviews: Must be graduated from high school Plan to attend 2-3 major contests (you will choose based on your schedule) In depth reviews are preferred, with a brief over prelims followed by a detailed finals Other Sections: If you want to have a feature like mbui's Show of the Week, contact me via PM! If you choose to take on the responsibilities, we *might* be able to get you a polo shirt and LAMINATED (exciting!) press pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
