The Return of MR Gazette? Started by: Tommy-Vitale on Oct 07, '24 20:04
The neighborhood of Bella Vista, PH was bustling this fall evening. Everyone enjoying the weather before the approaching winter. A black lincoln town car traveling down 9th street pulls in front of Villa de Roma, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, owned by alleged godfather Striphe Corelli. The driver exits the vehicle, walks around and let's out the man in the back.

The man walks into the restaurant and is immediately greeted by the manager, Vincent Mancetti.

Vincent: Welcome Mr Vitale! I heard you were back in town, it's so great to see you. Your table of course is ready.

Tommy: Thank you my friend, and I know the food will be as amazing as ever.

Tommy finished his meal and was enjoying a whiskey neat when Vincent came to check on him, as they spoke for a bit Vincent mentioned a topic on many minds.

Vincent: Hey Tommy, now that your back are you gonna be running your paper again? I miss the MR Gazette.

Tommy (quite for a moment): Ya know I don't know Vincent, it depends if people really enjoyed it. Guess I'll leave it up to them.

What about The Weekly Gazette, can we fund its return too?

 

Perhaps what we need is a community newspaper fund that every crew leader pays a premium to, which can then be used to fund newspapers with factually verifiable information and approved stories.

This should prevent the more unsavoury publications like systematic immolation of news from popping up again and let real journalism flourish.

 

I know of no man more suited to manage this fund than Ronnie.

Not to be a debbie downer here but don't events like have to happen, for there to be news to write about?

Never seen the streets so quiet.

I heard MatteoDenaro wears a dog collar for bed and dunks dog biscuits in his tea. Front page news that should be

Or you could find a new name and create a new paper rather than riding the coattails of those long gone. 

I mean, who wants to hear about the nothing that happens every fucking day? We all do. Yep, totally. Let's get on this folks!

The thing is, Tommy, you weren't the first to use the name. Multiple editors before you had used it for years. Most of them also won special, made-up awards and were funded by members of the community.

You weren't the first to use the name.

You have been gone for quite some time, Tommy. It's good to see you have an interest in reviving the paper. I guess certain entertainment is well and good but I have read some of your family's work before you and it seemed to lean more toward tabloid fiction. Will you write about real, factual events when you run the paper now?

I, for one, would not mind some important national or world news.

Report Post Tip
World events would have to be current as of the time. I think that's an amazing idea and would include that

Striphe cracked his knuckles and pulled out the old type writer from the closet. He had heard one of his member was trying to get the newspaper rolling again and he knew he would be in to help

You can count me in if you need a article friend, I will try to joggle this old memory and get to work for you.

I'm working on a series right now, first publication will happen soon.

Excellent news - I've needed something to read with my morning coffee. Current events, profiles, gossip columns. 

Report Post Tip
Also to discourage mass paper mills, I'm open to having writers for certain sections, and I be editor, and I'd have my own articles also.

Have you considered having a writing competition?

Can a new publication, trying to get off the ground in difficult times, really absorb the bloodshed that comes with civilised writing competitions?
