OWOT Today: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

[[File:Owot today pfp.jpg|thumb|279x279px|The ''OWOT Today'' logo by AndreiXYZ]]'''''OWOT Today''''' was an [[OWOT Fanart#OWOT News Organizations|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.

The account for ''OWOT Today'' was created on February 26th, 2023. Its 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. The paper 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.
