Hi Again,
My question this time is two-fold. The First is What is the rules or ideas we should have for Wiccan Ethics in Journalism? Secondly, what would a Daily E-zine which waned to be a prime mover of news within the community would have to incorporate?
This is not just a trival question as my own ezine is Onn-year old tomorrow, and I want to understand what individuals as a whole are looking for?

Hi edthepagan! I think the greatest challenge you would have would be to have thought provoking material that would be equally interesting to both "newbies" and to those that have been around for a while. If you're thinking of a daily ezine, I would think something like "God/dess of the day" as well as "Festival of the day" which means you would have to get cracking trying to find a festival held on every day of the year (world wide too). Those would certainly interest me... and please, don't recycle them too often huh?
Secondly, I would even differentiate between "newby" and "old-hand" for your list. I would suggest with that distinction (new/old) that the material be more intense, specific and maybe even include a chat board for serious discussion. I love a good discussion among peers. :)
How about book reviews of recent/classic pagan books, both fiction and non-fiction.?There is nothing like a good book to stimulate the thought processes and get people doing creative and thought provoking ritual.

Also, if by any chance you could add to your ezine something which recognizes location (ie state, province, city etc) and which would act as a message board for local goings on, that would be superb.. I saw someone on here the other day asking if there was such a service online and couldn't think of one. :(
