July Journalists

Hello Cho's!
It's a brand new month, and so that means brand new journalists!  The journalist program is a program that encourages users to create amazing blogs that can be showcased on the official blog, which you can visit by clicking here.  If you want to apply for journalism, make sure that your blog follows the criteria that follows:

• Your blog MUST be at least one month old.
• You must update your blog weekly, with various kinds of posts.
• Every post on your blog must be written by an author in his/her own words.  Make sure you aren't copying from other posts.
• Have a nicely decorated blog.  Include a template/header on your blog to give it an extra decorative look! 

If you feel as if your blog is journalism worthy, then submit your blog by leaving a comment on the official blog's journalism post.  Any blogs submitted anywhere else will not be submitted for journalism.  If you do get chosen as a journalist, you get many great perks, such as:

• Your bog will be featured on top of the play page as well as on the official blog's sidebar.
• You will have a journalist badge with you blog's title on it.
• One week of free citizenship will be added to your account, as well as you will be rewarded with the feather hand item.
• Your Chobots name-tag will be purple.
• You will be able to send private messages to all staff members, regardless if their playercard is blocked or not.
• You will be able to write one post on the official Chobots blog.

If you want to submit your blog for journalism, you have until July 19th.  All comments left on the official blog will be reviewed by the Chobots Team once submissions are closed.  Also remember that if you were a July Journalist, and you want to keep your status, you must re-submit your blog.

Have a great weekend!
