One of the focuses of our reporters at Casino City is to research and write stories we think are of interest to the GPWA community.
For example, last week we tracked down and first reported that the alleged shutdown of the PokerBandits.ca portal site by government authorities was a hoax. (See the post at
www.gpwa.org/forum/showthread.php?p=477394#post477394).
We've been doing a lot of thinking about how to report the latest buzz without compromising our solid journalistic instincts to make sure everything we publish is trustworthy. And we think we have the answer.
We've created a new fictitious GPWA member, "The Buzz" that our reporting staff will use to let you know about unconfirmed rumors. That way we can have the best of both worlds.
When our editorial staff posts stories under their regular member names (McLane39, snooptodd, and vinism) you can be sure the information reported is trustworthy. But when the news is reported by "The Buzz," anything goes. The standards will be closer to those of the National Inquirer (well, maybe not that low).
Now you can count on the GPWA both for the latest buzz and for solid reporting you can trust.
To find the latest buzz, you can visit the member profile page for "The Buzz" (
