Get your news RP style at Azeroth World News

If you are into roleplaying and World of Warcraft lore, Azeroth World News may be just the place for you. It's a relatively new fan fiction site where news stories are written in-character.

For example, under the Culture heading you can find an article about the history of Duskwood which ends in a request for heroes to help them in their time of need. Another article describes how to get a chicken pet in Westfall, also completely in character.

The only OOC content they currently have on the site is something that may make a lot of you not want to support them. Azeroth World News has a classified section where players offer up their characters for sale or trade. I, for one, am very disappointed by this section of the site. They also have full column sized gold ads (among other advertising). Unfortunately, I have tried repeatedly to contact the people who run the site for more information but they have not yet answered any of my queries.

If you are ok with the existence of the anti-ToS transactions on Azeroth World News, it is a pretty site with some entertaining reading. I can see using it as a way to get some RP inspiration for zones you are about to quest in. Or you could use it as a way to immerse yourself in Azerothian lore during a quick break at work.
