IN CHARACTER NEWS
The IC news can be found in one of the tabs in the dynamically tabbed table on the home page. This is important as it's frequently updated with everything that relates to IC that is noteworthy, especially with packs or gangs to keep its members well informed. It's a pack/gang leader's responsibility to ensure this is maintained with the vital information. But rather than expect them to monitor every thread that relates to their pack/gang, members are free to submit their own threads so long as it falls under the requirements, described below submitting.

TO SUBMIT: Post in this cbox. This cbox can also be accessed quickly through the IC news as a pop up.
There's no format due to the variety of news, but look to the cbox or the IC news for an example. We'll modify it appropriately to fit into the IC news. It's mostly important to include a link to a thread and the thread's name if there is one, what pack/gang it's relevant to, and the starting participants of the thread necessary.
It's a basic cbox so there's a limited amount of characters, so feel free to post multiple times. You can post anonymously if you feel the need.

IC NEWS REQUIREMENTS
Closed, personal threads (between two dogs) aren't included in the news. However, if there's something in these threads that is important for others to know and the characters, the information can be submitted. As an extension on that note, news only can be submitted at any time by leaders if it relates to their pack/gang or is news from their pack/gang that relates to the rest of the site. It can be submitted by the members as well, but with the leader's permission, depending on what it is.
Pack/gang leaders can post their OOC information, if they've updated a page or made any changes.
Pack/gang leaders are expected to submit their important threads to the IC news, such as anything mandatory like a meeting or OOC updates/pages that relate to their pack/gang. Other things they can post are duties (E.G, a patrol) where it specifically requests their own members to join, another pack/gang's members to join, or requests loners to join. These are threads any member can submit to their news and are advised to, to keep an active flow of IC activities. It also takes the weight off the leaders and is a privilege of packs/gangs, so use it! This also stands for those who own loners, if the loner(s) in a thread are requesting the members of a pack/gang.
This can also stand as well for any other organization, or is targeted on a broader level that isn't strictly personal - such as requesting fights in the fighting ring.
Asides from what we've stated as expected, how much is posted in the IC news and to what detail is down to whoever is submitting. We will only edit anything if it's necessary, or if there's insufficient information. You're welcome to elaborate on information if it's important.
Updates in the IC news will be deleted after two weeks. If something hasn't been responded to, or you'd like more coverage of something, you can submit it again. You may do this a maximum of three times for that single piece.
The line between personal and non personal threads can be a little hazy, but rather than avoid submitting, we'd much prefer if you submit anything you think should go in the IC news as we're still exploring how to make the news as beneficial as possible. The worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't go up. There's no limit to submissions - simply a post in the cbox provided!
