2017 January Journalism

Greetings and Happy New Year everyone!


2016 has come to an end, and from what Katara says, the blogging side of the Chotopia community has been slacking! I would have to agree. We need to get back in gear and get the blogs back up 'n' running! Everyone is able to start a blog, you don't have to be a Journalist! Start a blog today to keep the community updated, as the Chotopia Staff can be very busy at times, and need US to help out! 



Keep in mind that ANYONE can do this! Although, there are some special requirements for those who wish to become a Journalist in the Chotopia community. These requirements are as follows:
  • Your blog should be updated at least weekly. (If you will not be on for a while, inform any member of staff, and they will take care of it.)
  • Posts you make must be created BY YOU! (You must also have sufficient grammatical skills, and use what I would call the "cool HIP lingo")
  • You may NOT copy directly from any other blog, including the main Chotopia blog.
  • You ARE allowed to use images from the main blog. (I used the Journalist Program image in this post.)
  • You must have at least ONE active author, and no more than THREE authors.

These guidelines are simple enough to follow, and I'm sure many of you can't wait to start your blogs and become a Journalist! Not only will you be called a Journalist, you will receive special perks! The perks Journalists will receive are:

  • A special Journalist badge on your profile with the title of your blog, as well as an exclusive playercard
  • You will be given the Feather Pen item automatically
  • The ability to private chat a moderator even if their playercard is blocked
  • Moderators will bookmark YOUR blog
  • Your blog will be featured on the Offical Blog
  • A purple nametag

The rewards/perks all sound wonderful and I can't wait to see who all is chosen for January Journalists!
