Looking for Writers

Job Descriptions:

News - Report on local, national, world, and political news. Since we aren't a major news outlet, most of your postings will be excerpts from established websites. The news must be objective, but you should always post your reaction to the story. If something extremely major is happening, it is in your best interest to post that. Of course, we can't cover everything so please use your best judgment! Not so major news (off-beat, humorist) is acceptable as well.

Media - Report on music, movies, and video games. Most, if not all, of the content from this section should be original. Check out some of the posts made under the media categories for an idea of what to write about. CD Reviews, band spotlights, and songs of the week are all keepers. You can start your own feature if you would like. As for movies, give reviews of PAST and present movies. For videogames, give reviews/post news about upcoming games, consoles, etc.

Sports - Report on general, boston sports, and local sports. It is best if you post original content here such as your reaction to transactions, games, and other news. If you have a chance to catch local high school/college sports games, write about them! Other than in local newspapers, these games do not get covered!

Technology - Report on science, personal tech, business, and health. You can really do whatever you want here. Most of the content will not be original, but that is fine. Here might be a good place to release your opinions on different products and gadgets or even on health and science issues.

Opinion - Report SUBJECTIVELY on public policy and or philosophy. Social commentaries and rants are acceptable in this section. If you like doing that...your thoughts will be read.

can i be allowed to contribute to l'Etudiant?

Lawlz, can I...

I like the rant section, because it doesn't limit me to any of the categories. Pretty please?

Can I rant on the new look?

Please specify your e-mail addresses so I can send the invitations.

Mogni writing for the Étudiant? I never thought I'd see the day. I thought he was too smart for us.

Be sure to read this piece: http://wakefieldnews.blogspot.com/2008/07/wanna-write-for-us.html

Oh yeah: if you guys that just recently signed up are planning on writing say so here because we are finalizing the look for É2.0.

is the É2.0 going to be in the same domain and does the "blogspot" allow different CSS scripts? I guess that's kinda cool but I thought they had to have a static design.

Static design isn't bad. I really don't like flashy websites.

No, it's going to be located at waketudiant.com and wakefieldetudiant.com. I'll probably set an auto-redirect for the current domain.

Ya but it can get boring.

OOOO, I wonder who you paid to set that up.

Domain names are mad cheap through Google.

Ben, I must respond with an XD you have no clue of what you are talking about mate.

Excuse me? Google offers domain names for $10 a year.

Intrestin'

just a thought but shouldnt entertainment be added??? (like celebrities and stuff like that??) i mean if the point of this is to make it like a newspaper then this should be added too

Pshhhhh entertainment. If anyone wants any celebrity "insider" they can go to perezhilton.com. Or they could go back to April 1, 2008 when we turned the Étudiant into a celebrity blog for one day. I know none of the current writers are interested in adding entertainment, but if you really want to be a writer for it, I can't see why not (other than the fact that we might lose a 1/4 of our integrity)

well it was just a thoughtt.. cuz like if its supposed to be like a real newspaper then that would have to be in it but obv. u dont like any of my ideas so w/e

Haha no you have good ideas I'm just trying to say that we would need an entertainment writer to have celebrity news...you know?

haha yeahh but that can change later on. im just saying for the future that some ppl will actually want to read that =]

maybe, just maybe. I've never really been able to comprehend why people are so attached to celebrities. Any thoughts?
