The Bellocaparta Herald was a news media publication founded by Thomas Maher, through his MFC Publications company in 2007.
History
On January 21, 2007, Maher announced the creation of the Bellocaparta Herald to report on general news within Gotzborg, as well as specialty topics such as economics, history, and international news from within the Novasolum Regional Micronational Community. Maher hoped that the Herald would rival the two established news services in the Gotzborg and Novasolum spheres - the Coprieta Standard and the Alternative Media Company.
The Herald was meant to replace Maher’s monthly news publication, The Novasolum Bulletin, with a more-regularly published weblog format; however, the Herald only released two editions, on January 21 and 22, 2007, before ceasing publication. That cessation was widely attributed to the uphill battle for the Herald to penetrate the news services market, as well as limited time on Maher’s part due to other obligations.
