I recently had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the changes to this wave and it is owner, Mr. Tillery Woodhen.

KB:  Tillery Woodhen, editor and owner of CNS Cortex News Service since it’s inception in May 2007, has been busy providing you your news source, building channels and reporting on the entire alliance and independence verse. Recently, I had the chance to sit down with this media mogul and find out where he has been and what changes are to come for the wave

KB:  Mr. Woodhen, thinking back to May 2007, please tell me what you wanted when you founded the Cortex news Service

TW: Mogul? Really? (grins) I wanted to create a forum and information source for everyone in the 'verse. That was my goal from day one and it remains my goal now

KB:  There have been some noticeable changes with CNS hasn’t there? Things seem to have really taken off in the past few months... for example, you have recently constructed a new office in Sihnon. Tell me about your decision to build.

TW: It was related somewhat to our sudden growth. We've been based on Sihnon for a while now, but it was just a small office near the shuttleport. With our growth, and the importance of the CNS to the 'verse at large, I felt a need for the CNS to have a home worth of it's stature.

Kermudgeon Baar looks around the nicely appointed office

TW: I still need to finish some of the decorating. (smiles)

KB:  Mr. Woodhen, I have heard you have also invested considerably in distribution… is that true?

TW: Absolutely. We have been introducing new kiosks where people can also subscribe to the CNS directly. We're also working on video broadcasting to all parts of the 'verse.

KB:  With your new media format and new vending, how has the response been?

Have you seen an increase in circulation?

TW: We have, but I believe it's more the quality of the news. We've gained wonderful new staff members who have been on top of breaking news in their areas. They're the reason for our increased circulation.

Kermudgeon Baar nods

KB:  Are you planning on adding any thing new to the CNS wave? Calendars, Advertizing, Classified?

TW: We definitely plan to be adding calendars in the near future. We're working on a way to deliver a calendar to everyone who's subscribed to the NewsWire.

TW: And we have always been open to advertising. All anyone has to do is contact us.

KB:  What would be the best way to do that?

TW: Just come up and ask me or talk to any of our representatives across the 'verse.

Kermudgeon Baar smiles

KB:  And one final question, Mr Woodhen?

TW: Sure.

KB:  All of this seems like a lot of work, for on man. How much assistance do you get and do you plan on recruiting?

TW: I have a great staff now already active, uploading directly to the CNS, such as you yourself. I have people on Hale's, Burnet, Suzhou, and all the moons. And we're always open to those who would like to join us.

KB:  Thank you for your time, Mr Woodhen! It has been a pleasure speaking with you!

TW: Same here, Kerm. Thank you.
