SAPA news publishing: Your feedback needed

[rpm]

As you know we publish a few general news articles per day in the breaking news forum section: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/content.php

I think it works fairly well, but we do not check SAPA that often, and we may also miss cool articles which you may find of value. Also: Like with breaking news stories (like Oscar Pistorius), you may want regular updates with the latest news as it comes in.

Question: Would you like to see a few forum members having access to our news feed, who can then publish news which they think is relevant and interesting in this forum (and possibly the sports section for sport)?

This means that forum members will handle part of republishing news from our feed, instead of the admins handling it.

Your feedback will be great.

Go for it
BUT
WHO is going to appoint the "few" forum members ?
By WHAT criteria ?
Maybe it should go to a vote ?

I think its potentially a very good idea.

 

[Billy]

Yes. Good idea.

 

[Paul Hjul]

by all means

 

[Hosehead]

It's only a good idea if there are no individual agendas or biases in selecting the appropriate feed. Can't have someone with say, oh, a pathological hatred of the Blou Bull (Can't say I blame them ) and thereby ensure the Blou Bull name is never seen,heard or even mentioned again in the Sports section. Put it to a Vote.

Open if up for a couple of people (say 5 - 3 for news and 2 for sport) on a month long test, after that you can consider if it is working and if you could benefit from additional "news publishers".

Run with it!

 

[Grant]

Good idea.
MYBB already has a RT correspondant on board.

 

[R13...]

Why not let everyone have access? To balance out the very obvious agendas.

 

[saksakgp]

NO! They will feed us propaganda.

 

[Pooky]

Yeah I'm not too keen on the idea.

 

[ponder]

NO! They will feed us propaganda.

Seems like an expanded version of what I expressed uneasiness with here.

If you had a site like this, wouldn't you also want to get as much traffic as possible?

 

[Lycanthrope]

/nominates mercurial!

 

[Albereth]

We already get the RT bias so maybe this will even things out a little.
