WASHTOWN WEEKLY ARRIVES!

Washtown, Burnet's Moon - The rumors circulating around town for weeks now are true. After several months without a local news source, Washtown once again has a newspaper to call it's own. The Washtown Weekly officially turned on the presses today after weeks of planning. The Weekly strives to be the definitive source for the truth in Washtown. We will always tell it like it is, not like how some big corporation wants it to be.

Washtown has been without a local news source since the Washtown Wave sold out and left for bluer and more purple pastures on the planet of Persephone. The Wave's publisher and editor, Tillery Woodhen, was once a well liked resident of Washtown. Greed, however, got the best of him and the Wave became the Cortex News Service and moved it's headquarters to the city of Downing on Persephone. The CNS has since expanded considerably, distributing it's so called news throughout the verse. This reporter is still curious how a small town newspaper publisher on a remote moon, whose residents are mostly struggling just to make it to the next day alive, managed to obtain funding for such a rapid expansion.

Washtown deserves better than Mr. Woodhen. The Weekly now makes this promise to the citizens of Washtown. We will always tell the truth. Come rain, shine, purplebellies, or blue hands, we will make sure the real news is always delivered. We will not sell out, and we will not back down. You can't stop the signal!

OOC P.S. - Just to be clear, the above story is all in fun. We love Tillery to death. He's been a resident of Washtown for a long time, and we will always consider him one of us, because he is. We will have a mix of IC and OOC stories and news posted here. A regular feature will also be Straight Talk, a combination gossip column and advice column written by three of the "working" women of Washtown - Anastasia Christensen, Lena Lei, and Mystik Chemistry. Sanpierre Juran will also be a regular reporter for the Weekly. If you have any story ideas, or if you need advice from the women of Straight Talk, let us know.
