Who thinks it would be cool to be able to make your own newspaper or buy one in the elder scrolls online?

I think this is a GREAT idea . . . It could be a kind of in game newsletter giving updates in the PvP battle in Cyrodil, or makes an announcement whenever a new Emperor is crowned (like gives a Bio of the character, their guild and other stuff).

Yes, this definitely a great idea (I don't know about operating the newsletter, but there certainly could be a lot of quests associate with it)

Thank you for thinking the same.

I see this world as beeing before the printing press so mass producing books and news papers would be difficult. Plus what would the local literacy rate really be at this time? I think a better option than a news paper would be a town crier. Talk to him and he can give you info about the war or other note worthy events. Maybe if you bribe him he might mention things in the local area to investigate like shady dealings by the old mill.

in the morrowind expansion there was a newsprinting room that spoke the truth about king helseth. you could find pages of their newspaper scattered all around Mournhold.

there was also a news printing company on Oblivion that mentions you if you took part in the thieves guild quests.

yes, having a newspaper in eso would be awesome idea

Sorry, only one copy of the Black Horse Courier per customer...

Town criers Cool too! But he could get annoying. Assassins Creed?
Newsletters and papers have that sort of realism because we still have newspapers.

The news paper would have to be instanced.

King hires me to kill Grug the giant. I go outside and hear a crier, "Grug the giant Slain! Read all about it!"

Pretty awesome idea.

I think it's a great idea. All ZOS really would have to do is put one person on that job specifically, and have them release a new paper every week with jokes, articles, maybe occasionally even mentioning specific players that did something awesome. Perhaps players could submit articles for review and some might get put in. Guilds could pay for advertising in the paper (in game gold, not real money). New emperors could be interviewed or quoted. Something like this could add so much to the community, even if only 20% of the players read it regularly.

If they do this though, I wouldn't want it to be simply a newspaper shows up in your mailbox once a week. I would want street vendors to go around the major cities selling them. Maybe when a new edition was out they could go around yelling about it.

I like the idea. Would be fun reading an in-game newspaper, +1 for immersion.

Guild advertisemant ^ love it. Another gold cycling mechanism to keep inflation down.

Glad you like it.
