Add a subrule to “The Wire” called “Running a Story”:-

If a Wire Post exists which is less than 72 hours old, any Editor may run a Story on one of that Wire Post’s Events (if they have not yet run a Story on any of the Events in that Wire Post) by responding to it with a comment that indicates the Event’s Location and Subject, and includes a Headline of the Editor’s choice. Upon doing so:-

  • If the Editor’s Newspaper’s Stance on that Event’s Subject is “Pro” and the Event is Positive (or the Stance is “Anti” and the Event is Negative), the Editor may immediately increase their Newspaper’s Journalistic Integrity by 1.
  • If the Editor’s Newspaper’s Stance on that Event’s Subject is “Pro” and the Event is Negative (or the Stance is “Anti” and the Event is Positive), the Editor may immediately increase their Newspaper’s Balance by 1.
  • If the Editor’s Newspaper has a Stance on that Event’s Subject and the Event is Neutral, the Editor may choose either Understandibility or Humor, and immediately raise or lower their Newspaper’s score in that area by 1.

:FOR This seem to ignore locations newsworthiness completely. How about weighting the increment by that location’s newsworthiness? For instance increase the score by 1 if the event’s location is the UK, .95 if it’s the USA, .9 for libya, etc.?
