Wierd, my version is 5.5 too and I see it fine.
But I'm using the default style.

You know what'll look good in your news?
Democracy Games Brings Quality Mass Media
In an amazing rollout since the beginning of the Civ III Democracy game, several high quality newspapers have already opened shop in the Civ III Democracy section. The newspapers are informative, witty, funny and some even designed in a cool fashion.

Or perhaps I misread your intention and you actually want to hire me as a news designer? |

What you really need is an organised way of releasing newspapers every so often, maybe once a week or twice a week.
You would need a info gatherer - Someone who knows their way around on the forums and knows the people.
You would need a writer - someone who can write well and has humor.
A publisher - someone to put it all together.
and maybe even an artist to get the graphics or drawings for various articles.
Also you could have things like Latest Poll results on something that was important. You could have people write their own articles giving their opinion on some topic that was in previous newspapers and etc.
but one thing that is important is that it must look and act like a newspaper about the Apolyton, Civ (and maybe other games) community. |
hi ,
Sirotnikov has all the above , however , asking a daily paper might be a bit to much , maybe some people should work together , ...
then again ; the size of what it is now is good also , everything there , short , not dull , reads nice , in other words "perfect" , .... maybe we have to keep it this way , ...
have a nice day

Well, I kinda like it appearing like a newspaper 
quote: second, i've been asking for several days now for someone to produce an informative text updating the millions of civers out there about the status of the game |
Well, why not just update the headlines with stuff like:
"The second issue of Apolyton Times is out >click here<"
or "The first chapter of our history is out >click here<"
The thing is, from what I understand, you want a short synopsis. I don't get why would any one really want that? Either he's play, in which case he's interested in reading the newspaper.. or he isn't playing, and in that case he could probably care less.
I imagine me going to read a short news thing:
"We have just democratically decided to research Literature cause the Great Library is great."
..
Whoopee my butt.
It's not interesting to follow a Civ game from afar. It's like watching your friend playing Civ alone. It's much more fun to actually talk to him, see what he's thinking etc. etc.
If someone really cares about the game, he should either follow the newspapers, which have tons of details and are all funny and stuff, or read the chapters written by the Historian.
At least that my POV.
