Default issue 3: debut an exclusive?

ultimately the tabloid should have one good exclusive article not appearing on VNN or the forum. It should be high quality and from Linder or Wolzek or a "name." Could still put up the PDF and people could read that, but there has to be some reasons for people in the choir to want to get the tabloid. first reason should be, to give to somebody else; and that is the main angle right now. second reason, is to have something physical in print. convenience factor, which overlaps with the first. the third, should be to have some special content NOT availabe online.

Well, that might be a good idea. The value of these tabloids, as I envision it, lies primarily in their being a pretext to get out and talk to people. Press the flesh. Learn how people think, how they react to stuff, which things work better and worse. They're for offline politicking.

Yes, we can do some exclusive stuff, and we will. I will just guarantee that nothing will go in this tabloid that is not worth printing. There are piles of lousy papers out there, and this will always have first-rate old stuff before third-rate new stuff.
