News And Editorials - Any thoughts?
Madhava - Sat, 28 Feb 2004 22:52:12 +0530
Since many of us are in one level or another involved in writing something, would it be a good idea to have a separate "News and Editorials" section here? Our members could put together news articles or editorials of philosophical or historical interest and post them to the moderators to be added in.
There would be a separate, read-only category for articles. In contrast to regular discussions, they would be stand-alone articles, which could then be discussed elsewhere in the forums.
Would you care to give it a try?

Sounds good. Yes. Could moderators or suppliers add a short summary at the beginning, if contents are not obvious from the title? Just a few lines like in scientific journals.

Good idea.
with respect,

A good idea. On the current Vaishnava news-sites, it is often hard to sort out articles one wishes to read without wading through pages and pages of text.

Any budding journalists in the crowd? You can come up with your own assignments or I and some of the others here can give you some.

So, shall I create the relevant categories? One for News, one for Editorials, and one for threads which comment on them. Does that sound all right?

Is it possible of you to expand on this, regarding the types of assignment articles? I'll only sign up if I know what I'm letting myself in for!
