What is the Purpose of the Daily Prophet?
The Daily Prophet is an Out of Character tool with an In Character twist. It is a device to get plots noticed while only having to share as much information as you want everyone to be privy to in character, but able to supply all the information out of character. How? Through the use of "articles." Each article is about a current plot going on, large or small, and they come in two forms; Featured Articles and Major Headline News. They are meant to be read like actual stories that our characters would read in the Daily Prophet.
Featured Articles
These are posted in the main part of the Daily Prophet (below this thread). Any one can write one whenever they wish. They can announce births, deaths, marriages, a family winning a trip abroad, even a feature on what has been happening with your character; in interview form or otherwise. Anything that you want to get noticed. Editorials, columns, anything you please. Use your imagination and do write these. You can include as much information as you want IC and then leave links to related threads at the bottom so writers can read the full tale.
Major Headline News
As you might have guessed, these are articles posted in the sub-board "Major Headline News", cryptic, isn't it? These are written mainly by the Admin Team and approved members (usually Daily Prophet Reporters). If you are not a Admin Team member or an approved member, you need to obtain permission from the Co-Admins before posting an article in this area. These articles are used to let everyone know what the average person knows IC about what is going on in the Magical Community. They are tied into the over all plot of the site, and they are a recommended read for new and existing members. If you read these articles, you will know everything that has happened in the RP so far.
