After emailing Anton to tell him know about the post on this site, he replied saying
so, even more reason to get involved

Another thing that might be interesting right now is that we just announced our official launch date for our first print, which will be the 25th of September! This issue will be a sort of "pre-launch" version which will be a much lower circulation (10.000 most likely) than the regular paper, but we are going to use this to promote the paper to advertisers, media agencies and test some of it out on the streets of london, to see how people are going to react to it. So it is highly important that we get quality content until the 23rd of September, and would love to get some of the best stuff from brightonbloggers in the first issue...!
We are also giving away 3 ipods for the best content (best article, best photos, and best discussion) for our first issue!
so, even more reason to get involved

theblogpaper.co.uk
I received an email the other day from Anton, at theblogpaper and thought it might be of interest to some of the Brighton blogging community.
From the website:
Anton's email says:
So, if this sounds like your kind of thing, take a look and see what you think. It would be great to see some of the BrightonBloggers published in the paper.

From the website:
theblogpaper.co.uk is a news community which allows anyone to publish written and visual work online and in print.
Anton's email says:
We just launched theblogpaper.co.uk and we are looking for bloggers, citizen journalists, photographers and others that have content to share. The idea is that we build a platform for anyone to share content, and the best content will be promoted to a weekly newspaper. We are aiming to publish the first user generated newspaper by the end of September in London. What this means is the highest rated and most discussed content of the week will then be published in a print version of theblogpaper - a kind of weekly 'best of'.
The community therefore becomes the editor of the paper and by rating and commenting declares what content is worth to be promoted to print and possibly reach out to many more. Our aim is to create a community that gives users the possibility to increase their profile, reach out to new readers and redirect users to their blogs /websites etc.
If you are interested in submitting your content to theblogpaper just register at www.theblogpaper.co.uk/user/register . Once you confirmed your account (you'll receive an email confirmation) you are all set and ready to post whatever you feel is worth sharing and could be interesting to the community and potentially more.
We will shortly announce our launch date for theblogpaper (end of September 2009) as well as a first draft of theblogpaper to give you a greater idea of how it is actually going to look like, so keep updated on that on www.theblogpaper.co.uk/about
So, if this sounds like your kind of thing, take a look and see what you think. It would be great to see some of the BrightonBloggers published in the paper.
