How Visionary News works
Visionary News is meant to be semi-autonomous and easy to create. Contributors submit articles using our online template. Editors edit and place the articles in the current edition.
Papers are created by an editor and a core group of active participants in each location. The editor write the secondary editorial for each edition (the primary editorial would be the same in each paper).
Each issue has a primary theme and a main article based on the theme. It has a number of articles of various kinds. Visionary Society provides several articles for each issue (including the primary editorial).
No article stands on its own. Each is has tools for further understanding and action, and part of the totality of – that we call Visionary Society.
