Part of the problem is the cost of putting things in the Black Star.

Assuming the cost problem were not in the way, the difference in contents is
simply corrected by communications between the two.  The most efficient way
would be to have specific position-dependent duties.  Maybe have the person in
charge of the Black Star also in charge of content on the Web site.  (It could
very logically be argued that site content is a kind of Kingdom publication). 
Or have the person who does content for the site be a deputy to the person in
charge of the Black Star.  Or maybe a liason officer - the idea is to have
someone who knows it is his or her duty to make sure the contents of one are
mirrored to the other.  Should be no big problem.

I think this is most logically a Chronicler-type function.
