I've been (and others) have been thinking about this for a while:
Would anyone like to help revive cB News? - - - Also, related to this, would anyone be interested in creating a cB music magazine? It would be similar to cB News with different articles and reviews and such, and maybe a photography section if someone goes to a concert and takes pictures and stuff. |

I would definitely want to, but I've been getting a lot of school work lately.
 What would the responsibilities be? |

Responsibilities like what? Like job positions, or how often we would seek contributions?

What we would write about and how often we write, I guess.
Do you guys need different people for different subjects/sections or do you get a few people to do the while thing? |

A music magazine would be awesome. I love the idea. I'd like to help if I could (with reporting/reviews, stuff like that), but I dunno, school keeps me really really busy.

Do you guys need different people for different subjects/sections or do you get a few people to do the while thing? To answer your question about how often, I figured once or twice a month. I'm not sure of all the components the old cB News had, but I remember editorials and music reviews (Brie was great at that), and there were poetry submissions too, I believe, and also cB related news stuff. Anyone one cB News can correct me and/or add on to this list I made up. The music magazine should have reviews, information about upcoming releases, and editorials, and whatever else appears in a music magazine. Contributors: There should be a core group for both "magazines," as well as voluntary submissions by other members (freelancers). I think that's pretty similar to the setup of cB News, again, someone who was involved with it can better explain how it came about. This post has been edited by Madame C: Nov 17 2006, 09:58 PM |

Well, I'm thinking if we do do a music magazine it could be like once a month or two. (Carrie beat me to it)! That way those who have outside obligations such as school will have plenty of time to contribute something if they want.

A month or two for each issue gives more than enough time for people to do their reporting and stuff, even when tied up with other activities. And you could be a freelancer, like Madame C (Carrie?) said, which would work for me. [: |

When we tried to revive cB news over the summer, there was positive feedback, but in the end people lost interest and nothing was accomplished because no one was turning in articles. And that was during the summer. Now that school's going on, I don't think a newsletter could be accomplished unless it was a once-a-month type of thing.

I think it would work if each issue came out once every two or three months seeing as most are busy with other things.
I'd be willing to submit things randomnly because my schedule is often hectic. Hopefully, this will actually be executed on time and we can get the next issue out. |

Yeah I would definitely help with this.
Last attempt died off.  I kept coming back but nothing happened.I'm sure deadlines would help keep us on track. Would we be using the cBnewstaff forum again? As for concert photography, I've never really gone to a real concert. Not that many people come here.

Like it was stated before, the biggest problem is that people are intially interested, but when push comes to shove, they don't contribute things according to deadline. I'm all for it, but it's like pulling teeth; I would know. It flopped both times.

So pick people we know won't flake out. I don't necessarily want a position or anything (I'm not a great writer), but I'd gladly help out in any way possible.
So yeah, just wanting to express interest in getting this back up and running.

Normally, I'd be totally on board, but I'm horrible about deadlines. But I would love to.

^ Deadlines, psh. There's always a way around those. My thoughts for the revamped cBNews was for it to be extremely flexible on submissions and so on. Or maybe it could be a constantly evolving thing, kinda like a blog? What do you guys think?

I'd love it if you'd bring cB news back.
As Alvin said, I'd love to be involved as well.

alright. so. idea idea idea.
createblog. a site about blogs. SO WHY THE HELL DON'T WE HAVE OUR OWN BLOG? we have people who can write. CB news proved that. The type of articles we did for CB news were basically what would go in a blog. The only major change from CB news would be that publishing would be continual. We'd still go through editing and such. so yes. where to put it? well, i would certainly like it to be on the front page, but that is unlikely at the time. so i don't know. |

LOVE this idea... better in my opinion than a revival of CBNews 1.0...
But, i imagine it will have to wait for CB4, which is a pain... or... are we on CB5 now? |

Or would the articles be proofread and approved before becoming visible to the public?so yes. where to put it? well, i would certainly like it to be on the front page, but that is unlikely at the time. so i don't know. I'd probably expect this sort of project to be linked on the homepage (similar to http://allhiphop.com) and then threaded into its own forum (perhaps within a new forum suborganization with the next version of cB). Whatever the case, I'm down as an editor, as usual. |
