Make the eve story articles more visible

I really enjoy reading the news articles on the eve community web page, the ones titled game world news that further the story of eve online.
I imagine that there may be a lot of players who don't read these due to maybe not knowing about them if they are new players or just don't go on the eve community website that regularly to read them.
An idea I had was to have these story's broadcast on the tv in the captains quarters. They could just display an image on the tv saying breaking news or something similar, that way they would not need to spend time creating art etc for the story's and the only time spent would be recording someone reading the article in a newsreader style. This should not take too long as the articles are usually only a paragraph or two long.
I believe this would create more immersion in game as your character would be hearing news as you would expect them too in a real setting, it would make more people aware of Eve's ongoing story lines, and give players another reason to enter the captains quarters.
