Become the Saigen Reporter of tomorrow, today!

Yeah, listen to that masterpiece. How could you not love it? What's that, you say? You all want one for Saigen? Well shit man, that's a lot of work.

The above video didn't take much time to put together. The recording only took about ten minutes, and the editing of the video itself only another ten. The biggest time sink in videos of the news variety, is finding news. We talked about it on the Cbox the other day, and someone who has a face came up with the idea of having 'reporters.' These reporters would be the people who stalk others' threads, and finds the big, juicy pieces of information.

No, this isn't a rumor mill, I don't care if Jinseie kissed a frog and it became a prince. A beloved ninja died? Yeah, I can roll with that, you can help write the eulogy. Ninja ranking up? Go for it, especially if it had an interesting mission related to it. Just as well, in character events that were big, and should be canon, but nobody knows about (Half of tea country being destroyed, cough cough.) can become canon and widespread through the use of the news program.

Potentially, I'd also like to get mod help involved. If a good story pops up, and the OOC of a village, or some other mod thinks they can make a cool event out of it? Hell yeah, I'm sure people would love to see it. IC events are few and far between, but when they happen, everyone seems to love them (the Festival of Lights being the most recent and relevant example.)

These videos would be short, often between 2-10 minutes (Depending on interesting events going on.) and probably wouldn't occur every single month, especially during slow months for the site, during exams and whatnot. Rather than just a straight news show, having multiple voice casters, doing interviews with the ninja, and other cool specials.

If people are interested, please vote in the poll above, post in the forum below, or send me a PM. If you have any specific ideas, voice acting skills, artist skills, or other such, your support would really be appreciated.

Schweet. Go forth and find thine news. If there's anything noteworthy, go ahead and shoot me a PM with the TL;DR of the thread, and alink to the thread for verification purposes.

I support this idea and I do not suck

Thatguy has sent me the first piece of news. In order to make a full show, I'd need at least two more, preferably more by ~January 20th. If anything important happens in social threads or missions, feel free to PM them my way.
