The importance of mass media is that it builds a society.

It lets us listen in on the underlying conversation and also speak our minds. It lets us choose our cultural leaders. It becomes the pool in which we collect our public information, our dissenting views, and our shared dreams and fears. It turns us into a community.Now the City is the most

Do I even need to wish you good luck?

[miss_waldorf]

I don't need luck, but your well wishes are much needed.

[basstardchuck]

I'm sure this venture of your will be very successful

[miss_waldorf]

I have enough capital to risk it, as you might say, I just dissolved the venture my previous self made.

[dreamsofnoah]

Advertising?

[miss_waldorf]

Not that it's necessary.

[dreamsofnoah]

No, I'm asking about it.

[miss_waldorf]

As in, you'd like to advertise?

Right now I'm considering pushing that off the table and charging the readers instead.

You want to start a magazine about a city which practically runs on the principle of self-publishing?

[miss_waldorf]

Yes, because I've found that even a dictator is still much feared in a democratic country. Status sells, and sex.

[worksmart]

A dictator isn't generally trying to sell ice to eskimos. What happened to the talk show?

[miss_waldorf]

No, a dictator's more likely to be demanding it from them, changing it in some way, and then making them buy it again for double the original price. As for my publication, I've found that people are more willing to tell when there's something in it for them too.

What talk show? I thought I did parties.

[aibyoukaonigiri]

That sounds like a great idea.

[miss_waldorf]

Thank you~ Would you like to contribute at all?

Eh...? Oh no! I don't think I'd be any good...at that sort of thing. I'm not really sure where any of my talents lie yet.

But--! Having some sort of news for the city would be a really good thing! The network is nice. But well...it might be nice to hear something organized every once in a while.

I would love a copy.

[miss_waldorf]

And your name is?

[ann_withane]

Anne Shirley. Don't you remember me? I know I'm a little more grown-up than you're used to, but I don't think I look that different.
