'''OWOT Today''' | '''''OWOT Today''''' was an OWOT-themed newspaper that broadcasted to the [[OWOT Discord]] on a semi-daily basis. [[AndreiXYZ]], the project's creator, also ran a separate Discord server where users could submit news to be featured on ''OWOT Today''. | ||
The paper's regular content ran from August 2023 to January 2024 and was released on an inconsistent schedule, with news sometimes being posted months after its occurrence. It made a brief return as part of a gag for April Fools 2024. | |||
After its closure, ''OWOT Today'' was succeeded by [[Lemuria]]'s [[Our World of News|''Our World of News'']]: a project which would eventually draw Andrei's ire for its heavily biased content. [[File:Owottoday.png|thumb|An example of an OWOT Today post|center]] | |||
