			Federation News Service

FOR ASPIRING REPORTERS Interested in keeping the public updated on the latest developments across the Federation? The Federation News Service welcomes both one-time and regular headline submissions for inclusion in the headlines newsfeed. Objectives of FNS Headlines Provide "bite-sized" IC news developments that can be shared across ships and referenced in sims to promote greater fleet IC continuity. Give a fun, non-Starfleet creative avenue for simmers to develop the larger prime Trek universe. What's going on in the sports world of the Federation? What's the newest holonovel to hit the suites? You can help shape life in the 24th century! Incorporate IC sim developments into the headlines to provide yet another way of telling our stories. Submitting a Story Simply edit the headlines page under the appropriate section (politics, sports, etc.) to add your new headline. Headlines should be listed in reverse chronological order with the newest headlines of a section listed first. Want to become a regular contributor? Join the FNS Team! If you enjoy writing IC news stories for the rest of your fleet mates to enjoy, why not join the team and get OOC taskforce credit for it! Leave a message with Erin, the FNS team facilitator, and you'll be added to the FNS team's Google group. FNS Team Member Duties As a regular contributor, aim to submit at least one new headline a week (either to the Google group or to the wiki directly). As the headlines page fills up, clean up old headlines by moving them to the news archive page. Look over one-time submissions for spelling, grammar, etc. Help proofread monthly ship reports before they get published on the main starbase118.net website. Contribute IC news story ideas, plot arcs, and world building through constructive, collaborative, and respectful discussion. If you actually want to write an article, feel free to create your own FNS PNPC journalist!

You are very much welcome to do so! Check out the FNS Manual of Style for some tips and examples of previous IC news articles. However, writing out an actual article is purely optional for regular contributors. New weekly headlines are all that's required.
