The Asgardia News Network (ANN) nears completion  

Hello Asgardia!

I wanted to introduce myself, for those who do not know me or are unfamiliar with my dealings within Asgardia. I am the founder of Voices of Asgardia Official - World Asgardian Radio, and the volunteer Communications Coordinator for Civic Asgardia. I have taken the yoke of responsibility to set up better pathways for information flow to keep you, the citizens of Asgardia, informed on our nation's progress.

A few months ago I proposed a project called the ANN - The Asgardia News Network. This proposal was designed to begin generating media within Asgardia itself. I am pleased to announce that the Communications Division of Civic Asgardia is well into development, and the ANN is nearing completion.

At the time of the proposal, there were several newspapers started that were themed specifically for Asgardia; however, upon finding out that the work was going to remain volunteer for a while, most of the projects faded as they lacked the physical support and information flow to continue them. VOA (Voices of Asgardia) has somehow managed to weather this storm, thanks to the powerful contributions by our staff who remain committed to it, no matter the outcome.

The ANN is almost complete and very soon there will be new information out to disseminate to the public. I'm asking you to help me do it by starting your own Asgardian media initiative. There will be no financial support for a while, so it's going to take a passion for the dream and a lot of elbow grease. The rewards will be tremendous, and your countrymen will benefit from your efforts.

Your news outlet does not have to be in English; in fact, I encourage our more estranged communities to reach out to Asgardians in their own languages. Everyone deserves to know what's going on, and even though I can't facilitate all languages, you in the community can. This is a community effort. 

I remain committed as a father of two and the founder and lead administrator of Voices of Asgardia to bringing whatever information is available to our citizens. I apologize if things have been blurry the last few months, many things were in development and a lot of the foundation had to be built to reach this point. And now here we are. You each can build your own skyscraper, but you'll need to put in the work to get it done. It will take time, synergy, and coordination, but I know there are those individuals out there that can achieve those goals. Asgardia wants you to be successful, this is your chance to help your community.

I will be answering questions below in the comments if you have any. If there is a delay in response I apologize - I also have two little Asgardians who need my tender loving care - but I will answer as I am able.

To finalize, the ANN is coming - a community pool of articles written by both Asgardian employees and volunteers - ranging in topics from news to the daily life of an Asgardian. You can contribute to our success by helping us get the word out through your own mediums and/or writing your own articles to contribute back to the ANN newspool.

I look forward to speaking with you, and in the words of our founding father, I embrace you, and every one of you.

Respectfully,

Ryan Zohar

Claro que no!

ANN será una combinación de artículos de periodistas y aficionados.
ANN will be a combination of articles from journalists and amateurs.

That's pretty awesome! 

Will Asgardians have a chance to generate Asgardian news? 

I'm the author of a preon model and a possible breakthrough in Dark Matter, I guess I'm wondering if my theories could one day be mediatised in the ANN? 

Pretty cool stuff.

@petrv

Thanks! :P

Thank you

Do you mean by the Asgardian media initiative creating a blog to announce asgardian news in the local languages ?

In this case, there will be Ads announced in the blog, will these Ads only relevent to Asgardia (such as asgardian companies and institutes even if not located in the country of the asgardian community) or will these Ads announced from companies from the country or region of the community even if they are not asgardian ?

What will be the source of the rewards to volunteers for (asgardian media initiatives) as ANN and VOA ARE individual initiatives from you ?

Note: I am not so satisfied of the website (http://voicesofasgardia.com). The facebook link in this website leads to a personal account in Facebook, not a Facebook Page. It violates the terms of Facebook itself.

I'd be pretty cool if ANN could be a newspaper about Asgardian citizens achievements and such. New scientific theories from asgardians, discoveries from asgardians, arts from Asgardians. 

A news site not limited on asgardians, but most certainly focused upon them.

@Saizakout

Thank you

I know nothing of this blog; I know the new website may have a blogging option, in which case the current case for the ANN will become defunct. 

In this case, there will be Ads announced in the blog, will these Ads only relevent to Asgardia (such as asgardian companies and institutes even if not located in the country of the asgardian community) or will these Ads announced from companies from the country or region of the community even if they are not asgardian ?

NO ADS. The ANN was designed to be more of an Associated Press, to deliver facts about developing news stories by one of three sources. You can read about it here: https://asgardia.space/en/forum/forum/ann-asgardia-news-network-153/topic/what-it-the-asgardia-news-network-4924/

What will be the source of the rewards to volunteers for (asgardian media initiatives) as ANN and VOA ARE individual initiatives from you ?

I wish them a good night's sleep with a clear conscience. Aside from that, I offer no rewards or incentives. People are free to contribute as they see fit. ANN is not an individual initiative from me, it's constructed as a subprogram of Civic.Asgardia to benefit the community. VOA is my initiative, and is entirely unrelated to Civic Asgardia or the ANN.

Note: I am not so satisfied of the website (http://voicesofasgardia.com). The facebook link in this website leads to a personal account in Facebook, not a Facebook Page. It violates the terms of Facebook itself.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I believe your statement about violating Facebook terms is incorrect, unless you can show me exactly where the infraction happened. It has since been fixed, thanks to your input. Originally when we (NOTE: VOA isn't just me - we have a full multinational staff who work independently as our daily lives allow) set up the site, our page was not cleared by Asgardia yet. We must have forgotten about it. I thank you for the reminder.
