Fourth Estate, mark 3
The media world in USG is evolving again; these rules will supersede all previous iterations of the media rules.
Top-Tier Outlets
Several media outlets will continue to exist as they do now. Players will make submission anonymously to the Editor's Desk, where admins will review the content and post the piece to the appropriate outlet. Each player will be limited to one media multi as a name to publish under.
The bar for publication on these top-tier outlets will be quite high. Writing quality, timeliness, and your multi's publication history will all be considered. With this high bar for quality comes a strong influence on public opinion. These top-tier outlets will carry significant weight in the e-people's eyes, and these media pieces will see the greatest impact.
The top-tier outlets will include:
The New York Times (print articles)
CNN (television programs)
[Politico (Internet)
Party Outlets
To allow for a greater range of publication, several media outlets will be designated for use by the two parties. In these outlets, party members will be allowed to post new pieces freely, once again under the name of a media multi (one per player). Party chairmen will be given mod powers initially; they can choose to designate Media officers as they see fit.
Given the association between the parties and the outlets the public will see, their influence on public opinion will be much lower. It will take a sustained message across high quality pieces in the party media outlets to approach the effect on public opinion seen in top-tier publication.
The party outlets include (left/right):
Newsweek/Newsmax (print)
MSNBC/Fox News Channel (television)
Huffington Post/Drudge Report (internet)

Press Conferences
With the new changes, obviously, access to the media is now broader. To attend a press conference, however, you must still have a published media multi, whether it be in one of the top tier outlets or in party media. Inappropriate behavior at a press conference can lead to negative consequences for your media multi's future readership.
Media Multis
You may only have one media multi at one time. However, you may change your media multi - please indicate in your submission that you are doing so and please do not constantly do so. You can also submit articles under the name of your primary characters.
Submission procedure
Please do not PM an admin a story to consider for publication. Instead, kindly submit to the editor's desk, using the procedure above.
