We need a good tagline for Public Press. It's vital to be able to communicate the idea of Public Press quickly and in a compelling manner. Here are some that I think might be good:

"Citizen To Citizen Media" "Newspaper Of The 21st Century" "Your Neighborhood Newspaper" "The People's Newspaper"

I'll attach sample logo pictures with these slogans. Keep in mind these aren't final slogans and logos...just ideas.

If you have a good idea for a slogan or logo, please share your thoughts. The slogan, if possible, should stay relevant as the site grows. For example, as P2 evolves, we plan to extend its reach beyond the domain of newspapers...e.  g., into citizen television too.

Much appreciated

the nascent years: "Get the/your Newspaper of Tomorrow, Today."

and later on...

"Your global news source, by the people for the world." or perhaps- by the citizenry of the world.

I like People's Newspaper but it is already a common paper name or sub-title-theme in use by many newspapers. We should try something that matches the theme of p2.

The name peoples paper sounds like we provide news for the people, when really the people provide the news for the community (that is people who are part of the p2 comm., otherwise everyone else who isn't a frequenter of the p2 community, really will not get much of the news for the "people" unless they are involved of course!), plus providing news for the people isn't lacking in the world right now... at least not from an analytical-pape  r theme sense, if a person can get access to the internet then they already have countless peoples papers to choose from... of course interpreted differently like as a paper run by the people it makes sense but I think its a tad ambiguous for new/potential p2ers.

To me the salient theme of p2 is the public generated content (public meaning open to anyone to contribute, not privately controlled like through the corporate channels of CNN or Fox news), if only we could emphasize this theme in the title in an self-evident way...hmmmmmmm

i agree w/superdilly- needs to def emphasize user-generated aspect- (this is not WWeek, which is a little closer (to P2) than like Fox News)

Public Press: "You Decide What's News" Public Press: "P2-P News" haha get it? i'm so lame i also like Florigonian's "Interactive News Portal"

or something that refers to "our" or prev sugg'd "citizen to citizen"

i like Alm's "Freedom News" too or maybe "news freedom" or "the democratic press" eh but that sounds like you have to be a democrat- when really it's about the democracy of the paper- sorry just rambling

Fellow citizen journalists, thanks for so many thoughtful suggestions. With so much feedback I'm wondering now if rather than a single motto, it might be cool to display many user-contribute  d slogans...sort of a "graffiti" board for "what is public press", where people add slogans creating a collective montage. Or maybe the phrases cycle as a marquee/ticker tape. Keep the ideas flowing! Thanks, Gauss
