I see some problem here: should we base the Discoverer on the model of some real existant broadcasting service? All I see on TV is as filled with manipulative information as this article of the Discoverer. Would it be better to stay 100% neutral or shall we encourage a behaviour like this from the IMG? (From a moral position it would be good, but not from a press position.)
Very difficult question, imo. I will talk with my editors about this.
Absolute neutrality would open the possibility to become interesting for the 'unlawful' factions as like.
The above depends. Do you want to be BBC-esk, or Fox News-ish? The BBC is impartial and has to report fairly, while Fox is renown for the crap it produces to pull in viewers.
Seeing as this is the only still running news paper, I'd suggest running on an impartial basis, seeing as there is no other source of information to go to. If more competition turns up, then at least the reader has the option of going else-where in search of more reliable information.
