Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

If there's a strict set of rules (archival only after X amount of time) and the Director would be elected by members of the OIM. If there was abuse of power, we DO have courts you know. ...

Also, "approval" only in that the Director is the one that would post the request in the Admin Task Thread (like the MinComm does currently) most definitely not a debate on the worthiness of the outlet. As I said earlier, the readers will take care of that on their own by just not viewing or responding.
That's exactly the same case you could make for having a Minister do the job, other than the elected by OIM members bit, but that's not really much a counter point, since the Minister would have the power of the government behind them to approve and deny applications that might be more questionable, while the OIM Director would just be another person in media, which again, is more shady than I think you are giving them credit for, because of the conflict of interest, which the Minister would not inherently have.

I think there is a place where private media and MinComm can work together, debates being one example that springs to mind. Still, I prefer greater separation between them.

Also, it's important to note that I don't think nor did I say that MinComm is a corrupting influence.

Mainly though, I think there are many things we (private media outlets) can do that is not tied to the timetable of a term or the immediate focus of an Administration. On that part, there does seem to be a fair share of consensus from many that have spoken here and in the GH. So, putting aside my personal opinion that I prefer a wholly separate media entity... what kind of action can, or should, we take to promote greater cooperation among media outlets? What kind of first steps do we think would need to be taken as a group?

If we decide, and so far I'm alone on my view, to stick with MinComm handling the applications and archival, that's fine as long as my fellow media partners and any potential Government understands that I will be holding them to task for doing a very basic, and not particularly difficult, aspect of their job.

The OIM needs a rebranding, and a broader vision than it had previously. What I present above is largely the same concept as the principles the OIM was founded under, but with some wider and perhaps loftier goals in mind as well. Going through the old topics within the archived OIM forum, I saw a lot of...brainstorming isn't quite the word, but I don't like the word spitballing. Efforts to be as open-minded and collaborative as possible were, I believe, part of its downfall. Simply put: we need a vision that is definite enough to be pursued, while open enough to be contributed to by others.

If others would support me, I recommend we refound the OIM as ACME, un-archive the forum (and possibly create a few sub-forums within), and I will take over as the first Director, with a view to setting things in motion before we elect a new Director to take over afterward.

Good job. You are on the internet.

I consider myself an idealist, mostly because realists are just pessimists who don't do anything.

When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.

I’m not sure that a special position is needed to administer/approve/archive private media outlets. The MoC hasn’t shown any bias in this activity, nor have there ever been any issues related to over-archiving. Indeed, the only issue is perhaps private media isn’t reviewed enough to archive inactive outlets. And really, if something is archived, it’s easy enough to bring it back if need be.

Any person in this position as the head of a private media organization and outside the MoC could potentially show the same biases allegedly possible to be shown by a member of the MoC. The threat of bias could perhaps be even greater, if one wishes to archive rival publications that have had a period of inactivity.

All that said, I do think it would be great for a private media organization to form to encourage training and collaboration among private media entities. A united press organization could do a lot in promoting private media within Europeia, especially private radio broadcasts, which we don’t really seem to have. It all seems to be EBC Radio. That’s fine…but it limits the opportunity for participation as in the past there have been some who wished to limit access to EBC Radio.

Bottom line at the bottom: I think a regional organization to promote private media would be great, just not sure it also needs to administer the individual outlets.

I am often guilty of that - I did read some/most of this thread...but points were made that I did want to reiterate, as well.
