The Daily Prophet
What to Submit
The Daily Prophet is wizarding Britain's most popular news source. Staff and Gossipmongering Hags will use it to cover boardwide events, and members are encouraged to submit articles as well!
Articles that are sent to the DP should be newsworthy: spectacular or unusual, involving prominent citizens, or effecting a wide range of characters. If it's weird, scandalous or there are dead people, it's probably newsworthy!
Examples of what to submit: high society engagements, event coverage, extraordinary crime, high society birth announcements, and sudden deaths. If you want something covered but you don't want to write it yourself, please contact Aldous Crouch at least one week in advance.
You may namedrop other characters as long as the information is based in fact or you have their player's consent; you may also co-write articles with other members. The DP also covers IC scandalous events: if you find a thread that you think is scandalous, let a member of staff know!
