This is an open question. What do YOU want it to be?
I published the 1st issue and it was fun, but then I had to take a break and it sort of faded away. I am actually making a 2nd issue and hopefully if it takes off it will become more organised/regular.
I've tried to organise it in a totally IG way, but it seems that it needs a little coaxing.
What would YOU Like to see in the paper?
I would like to see a letters column, a lot of people have taken to posting their views up on noticeboards around town in the public notices forum, this doesn't make too much sense to me and would look much better in the paper.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

The difference being that last time, people jumped to help. This time people arn't.
I'm trying to make the paper 3 pages instead of 2 this time with an ultimate goal of making it 4.
But to do that I need content, and so I'm asking people what they want in the paper in the hope that they'll want to contribute to it :p

We have an election coming up - Manifestos and platforms!
Lots of cool DM spice happening around Sanctuary - Tell us about it!
Just want people to know how great you are? - Write in!
This is really great as a project, but without people supporting it it won't be able to work. As little effort as a letter on the forums saying some interesting things is enough. Lets see this really take off.
And if I was a DM, I would totally give you all cool loot for helping it

My main suggestion is to focus on quality and quantity. Instead of having a four page paper once every several weeks, a one page paper put out every Saturday might make the institution more powerful.
I think the paper is an excellent and well done idea.
I won't be around for the next few weeks, but Edmund will be able to 'cover' events and going ons based on things that are known IC.

I was going to send in a salesman notice for a very very special brew that was aging for millenia, but one misclick foiled my plans.
It wasnt that good vintage.

Write about the dangerous robbers you managed to escape from :P
Either way, I love the paper. Your problem may lie in the fact that there's a lack of politically engaged characters at the moment, but what do I know.

You need a personals section.
Level 6 rogue, looking for fun and good times. No strings attached.

Agreed. I know a lot of characters, mine included, would love a personals section. It would really add a lot to the server as a whole, to allow commercialized love to bloom in the dark environment of Sanctuary.
Just my two cents.
Red Skull 389 out.

As well as stuff discovered from your extensive set of informants in Upper and Lower and at all inns in the area... >_>
You could of course use the Dm's rumour thread with of course taboild style 'embelishments' i.e. massive exaggeration...
Remember, any editor just wants to sell copies... the truth is just a perspective :)

TO PEOPLE SENDING IN CONTENT:
Thankyou so much, I have gotten some really good stuff over the last 2 weeks.
But some pointers.
I want to put as much of it in as possible, but the longer you make whatever you send in, the harder it is for me to fit it into the issue. Some people are sending really good stuff, but said stuff would take up a whole page, and when you're limited to 2 pages, thats not cool.
Try and limit yourself to 300 words at the very most to avoid disappointment.
If you have sent something in, and it has not appeared and we havn't talked about it, I am a forgetfull idiot, PM me so we can talk. Thanks, and keep sending me stuff!
Oh and on a side note, advertising space is still avaliable every issue on a first come first serve basis. If you want something in the paper, don't hesitate to contact.

Dead? Characterless? Want to be a total bastard to people?
The Times might be just right for you!
Morales not necessary! If you want a high RP low combat character with subterfuge, lying, and the chance to let your creative side shine, this might just be the choice for you!
After the sheer insanity over the last few days it is slowly becoming apparent that I just can't keep up with all thats going on and help would be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to work for the times, send me a PM and we can talk about stuff.
