History
Organisation
Contents
The Treasure Island Report existed on the base of submissions by the roleplaying community, which were asked for by the editor-in-chief on a monthly basis. Those submissions ranged from being newspaper articles, which were either submitted via private message to the editor-in-chief or are republished from an in-character newspaper, to in-character interviews and actual copies of roleplay posts, to gear the attention to a certain roleplay, to short stories, which existed especially during the times of editor Kris Kringle.
Since the ninth issue those submissions were accompanied by an out-of-character text written by the editor-in-chief. Hereby the OOC-section always either provided an overview about recent roleplay-events or were a comment on typical experiences and problems connected to roleplay in The South Pacific.
Editorial
Since the start of the newspaper in 2015, there were five editors-in-chief responsible for the TIR either independently, under the Ministry of Regional Affairs or, from 2020 onward, under the Ministry of Media. The editor change was often necessary since the Treasure Island Report was subject to multiple restarts.
