Hmm. I think this could be good. Could you give an example of some sort? Maybe not a link, but some sort of idea?

I think we should wait for some more entries instead of hiring the first person we see. We already have a lot of people and I don't want the team to have more than 10 people.

You can be a Reporter, a Journalist, or an Assistant Artist. The Assistant Artist, however, only works if one artist can't do their job.

Wow! That's really good!

I'll check with the rest of the team. Also, this is how the articles work.
Reporter gets the info –> Journalist turns it into an article –> Editor-in-Chief edits it a bit –> Editor-in-Chief publishes it
So, you have a good chance at the job.
