THE ALT REPORT opens ‘TIP LINE’ 2 connect with readers
Published on Tuesday 3/9/2010 @ 1:35 PM by the ALT REPORT Robot
In an effort to meet market demands for memes and premium content in the alternative blogosphere, the Alt Report has opened up a ‘Tip Line’ to try to source content from dedicated readers. The Long Term goal of this Tip Line is to eventually ‘break’ the Modern Alt Watergate, some sort of huge scandal that changes our perception of the modern world [via Deep Throat].
The Alt Report wants to be on the front line of the internet, finding the premium stories + ‘reporting’ them. Sources say the Alt Report claims to have too many unconfirmed sources and relies on too much unfounded speculation, deceptive headlines, and irrelevant content.
Recommended TIP submissions:
- alt celeb scandals
- nude pix of alt celebs
- mild misunderstandings that need more exposure to turn into over-exposed controversies
- Photographs of Alt Encounters that happen
- Injustices
- Zany Party Pix
- Tweets of people trying to be alt
- Stuff that happened 2 u while u were at a relevant concert/event
- Miscellaneous content ideas/links/etc
- youtubes that ‘need 2 be seen’ by the alternative world
- n e thing u want
- instances of alt celebs saying douche/pretentious stuff in interviews
- entry level content
- Mainstream coverage of buzz artists
- stuff about alt websites + retailers
This is an effort by the Alt Report Robots + Interns to connect with the fans, letting them know that they are ‘in charge’ of the content.

@Informant, need an ‘alt’ version of wedding crashers…mid 20 yr olds who show up at your parties with fresh mp3 leaks, make fun of everyone for listening to arcade fire’s ‘funeral’, then bang some entry lvls in the bathroom.

@ezbakeoven, Do u think Carles’s ‘female readers’ [i.e. the laydeez] would be ‘hot’/'tuggable’ babes? Because I don’t know if hot babes would post on HRO. I think they’d be ‘too busy’ doing ‘hot babe stuff’ [slumber parties, manicures, 'gossiping with slightly less hot gal pals, 'etc'].
Wonder if HRO’s comments section is, in fact, a ’sausage fest’ :-(
