So, a few things:

-When writing a newspaper article, I think it'd be best to use the inverted pyramid technique that is typically used; important stuff in the beginning, and gradually, less important info regarding the subject in the article at the end of it. 

-You should probably use another program to make this. The layout of the text is pretty awkward and somewhat difficult to follow. Try a left-to-right format next time. I know you want to make it seem somewhat different with each page, but I think that it'd be best to stay consistent with the layout of the text.

-Stay unbiased when you write the article. You can use some vivid verbs/adjectives to emphasize the events that has been occurring around Avicus (like "horrible news was changed into incredible news"), but try to stay away from using it on touchy subjects like the EULA part. Some people support it in a way (like me), and some don't (like how you described it).

-Graphics. Graaaaaaphhhhiiiccccccccssssss. This isn't a priority to you since I know you're just starting this out and you're focusing on the writing department of this, but still;
  -Roboto is a very sexy, readable font that can be a great alternative to the one you are using in the 
  -It's hard, but sacrifice going through the process of making an HTML post as it appears to be the thing that takes a lot of time when making this newspaper. Balance the quality and the quantity.

Good stuff though; it's nice to see some members of this community form together to create something cool.

This looks incredible, The only complaint I have with it, Is that the images seem a little blurry. But overall, Great job.
