The Media taskforce will answer questions like:

What will be the media aspects of Nation1? (ie., feature magazines, news reports, issue based online newspapers...) How will they be organized? Can anybody contribute? How can Nation1 voices be broadcasted to the world? What will be Nation1's relationship to international press organizations? (like Reuters, CNN, BBC...) Will there be a system for citizens to report on news in their area? If so, how will it be collected/disseminated? What about announcements within the Nation1 body? Will there be a bulletin board? Who's in charge?
