The Brussels Paper
<p>
The Brussels Paper project is being launched to create a print newspaper for the international community in Brussels. To make this happen, we want to publish a 24-page pilot issue in October 2012 and develop a prototype app. We need your help to make this happen. </p>

So what is this newspaper going to be about? First of all, it will cover news stories in the capital of Europe and provide a forum for opinion and debate. But it will also encourage its community of readers to come together to explore, celebrate, taste, touch and understand the international city of Brussels.</p>

We want The Brussels Paper to serve as a powerful voice for the international community, to encourage expats to become expactivists and to help develop the multinational and creative potential of Brussels.</p>

It costs a lot to print a newspaper. It would be much cheaper just to go digital. But we believe in the beauty of paper and the power of the printed newspaper.</p>
<p>
We want to see the paper here -</p>

We have to pay journalists and photographers, hire a designer, rent a coworking space for one week, print 20,000 copies, distribute the paper across town, run an online campaign, launch a website and design a prototype app. If you want to see the hard figures, we need €4000 to pay for printing, €1000 to cover distribution and publicity, €1500 to pay writers and photographers, €1500 to hire a designer and €1000 to rent office space. Can we do it?</p>
