Newspaper.

Look, we will never have a successful newspaper w/ contributing authors for DL if the pay isn't good enough. The trick is to offer a high enough rate of pay so that you get a good amount of entries and have to knock some off the list for being too poor in quality/not what you're looking for.
1,000 gold and 500 gold are not decent rates of pay. I can go kill one mob and make 500 gold.
And I understand that the newspaper is to provide more of an RP feel to DL, but then you would have to hire permanent writers/journalists/bards or whathave you to make sure the paper is kept up to snuff.
What I suggest is slapping another 0 on the end of those rewards.
10,000 and 5,000. Or heck, half that even. 5,000 2,500.
This will get decent amounts of entries, people will have some nice incentive to write, and the editors of the paper will have the freedom to pick and choose between entries instead of taking any submissions that they get simply because they aren't getting any at all.
