Hear ye, Hear ye. Upon this day it is decreed and declared and set forth with much ado that this is the inaugural posting of The Apprisal. It is a joyous day indeed. What does the Apprisal smell like? Cannon smoke and British Tea dumped in thee Boston Harbour. What does the Apprisal sound like? Freedom ringing over nigh, and endless fields of wheat rustling in the wind.
I didn't catch anything you just said, what are you talking about?
The Apprisal is an online paper that will highlight different topics in a bi-weekly format. Discussion and feedback are welcomed. Topics may include current events, arts & media, opinion pieces, as well as comprehensive delving in a focused article. Any journalism conducted will be hard-hitting in nature. No exceptions.
That sounds great, How can I follow The Apprisal?
The easiest way to follow is to "Like" the Facebook fan page, which will alert you to news postings IN REAL TIME and as well as other important happenings in The Apprisal world. If you have a Google account, you can click "follow" to the right of your screen. If this sounds like some pretty heavy commitment, you can check back approximately every Monday/ Thursday as we will try to stick that schedule.
Why is The Apprisal called "The Apprisal"?
How you phrased that question is very redundant, but we will answer it anyways. In a search for a befitting name such that to accurately represent this paper, many resources were exhausted, namely time. Oh father time, if only we could be put in protective custody of the state. Many names were considered, and disqualification was due mainly on one of two accounts:
1. The web address was spoken for, however the newest post was pre-2005
2. The web address was spoken for, however did not contain any posts
Apprisal is English for "to inform with words". What an apt title for a paper poised to have a lot of information, a lot of words, and therefore the grand ability to inform with words.
And so you see, The Apprisal was born, and born along with also the discretion to italicize "The Apprisal" whenever seen fit.
What Now?
Stayed tuned, check back regularly, and vote in the 1st poll of many: "1st Topic of March". Once upon a time a person muttered "beware the Ides of March" I don't really remember the moral of the story, just that Julius Caesar got stabbed 23 times. Beware indeed.
Thanks for reading!
