Call to Action: Thank the media

[Thistletoe]

Feel a little weird posting this as it's sort of self-serving as much as it's useful to the spreadsheet, but I figure the person running the spreadsheet can decide whether these are worthy.

I think you guys already have the rest of our coverage. For what it's worth, Massively has several die-hard CoH fans and active players on staff, including me, so we're covering this from our hearts. In particular, look to Eliot's regular CoH column, which has been running for several years every Wednesday and will continue to do so until the end.

That's awesome.  Thanks for the support and all of the coverage.

Hi, I'm Bladesnow, and whenever I am in Paragon City I get my news from Massively.

Thank you again, Bree. I hope that posting here--an admittedly biased site--doesn't harm your reputation in the gaming journalism community. Please, look out for yourself first. :)

More french coverage (not found by myself, I can't be everywhere) here: http://www.gamekult.com/actu/il-faut-sauver-city-of-heroes-A104341.html

Which translates to "City of Heroes must be saved". Content is on the same level (links to two handfuls of articles they wrote to cover the game updates over the years).

I don't think we've seen this one mentioned yet.

Those are great articles, Bree.


THANK YOU!

And one of the co leaders here is an OnRPG Journalist (Maressa... hope she don't kick me...)

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but the iReport CNN article has been picked up.

I think hhanks needs some kind words of thanks!

EDIT: Now I finally see the post down in the forums, so yeah... double post.  But still, needs to be in this thread anyway.

Also.... WOHOOO!!!!!  I literally did a little dance when I saw this.

That was good.  Really good.

Everything as of this post should be on the spreadsheet. If I'm missing something please send me a private message. Thank you guys for helping me keep the sheet up to date. There is just so much now that I couldn't do it without you.

[jacknomind]

Yeah, that (markovia) blog entry was spot-on.

[Vulpy]

Yeah, that (markovia) blog entry was spot-on.

That'd be a good one to try to push into the Facebook/Twitter-sphere. It's a good explanation of why the game might matter, even to people who don't even play games.

[Rain Maker]

I think that's the best peice on our story that I've read so far. We should publicize it as much as possible (as long as the author is willing).

This popped up as a 'trending topic' on my RSS feed today. It's more of a mention than a new article, but you may feel it's worth adding to the list.
