Introducing TxBPress

[Dynasty]

Allow me to start this conversation with a brief FAQ:

 

Question 1) Is TxBPress a real press outlet?

According to dictionary.com the press is:

• The collecting and publishing or broadcasting of news; journalism in general.
  
• The entirety of media and agencies that collect, publish, transmit, or broadcast the news.
  
• The people involved in the media, as news reporters, photographers, publishers, and broadcasters.
  
• Commentary or coverage especially in print media
   
  Therefore, since we have journalists, and publish our media online in the form of News, Articles and reviews,
   
  
• YES! we are a REAL press outlet.
  

Question 2) You don't actually publish or sell anything do you?

• Physically, no, we don't publish anything. You will never see a newspaper with TxBands.com on the top (at least not right now.) However, we publish it at http://content.txbands.com for all to read!
  
• Of course we don't sell anything... since when has this site ever costed anything?
  

Question 3) Do you have reporters and writers?

• Yes, of course. See below if you are interested.
  

Question 4) Where do you plan to go with TxBPress?

• Our only goal is to bring news to the community and build relationships with the organizations and programs of the band community, for free.

Well, I'm a senior, and would be more than happy to be a part of TxBPress. I just have to wait for a few months, I suppose.
